The Room is a 4-week on-camera audition class for TV and film, taking place on Saturdays, February 28–March 21, at The Grit Gallery in Newburgh.
Designed for actors looking to sharpen their on-screen audition skills and amplify their confidence in this space, this intensive course gives participants the opportunity to work with new material each session, simulating real-world audition conditions.
The class is led by Jodi Collins, a well-known and respected casting director, talent manager, and coach, in collaboration with Fable & Sow’s Artistic Director Hamp Fluker, an award-winning stage and television actor and dedicated community member. Actors will receive direct, personalized coaching from Jodi Collins, from the well-rounded industry perspective focusing on truthful performance, clear choices, and camera awareness, while gaining valuable insight into what casting directors are truly looking for in TV and film auditions and what to anticipate ‘in the room’.
The Room is more than a class—it’s a space for focused work, professional growth, and creative exchange based in safety & knowledge. Proudly brought to the lower Hudson Valley community by Fable & Sow Theatre Farm, this course invites actors to step into the room, do the work, and be seen.
