    Acting - The First Six Lessons (part 2)
    Nov 17 2025

    We're wrapping up that one book we were supposed to have read in acting school. You were supposed to as well and you didn't, don't play pretend. Listen to our sweet book report on Richard Boleslavsky's big book o' acting and tell your teacher you totally did the reading.

    All apologies to Sarah Goldberg for messing up your name, we love you so much. Please come on our podcast and play The Creature in our music stand reading of Acting: The First Six Lessons to raise money for the miniseries we're inevitably going to make.

    We are slowing down a little bit. Turns out we're way too busy for our own good. Get caught up on prior episodes and meet us again to start Act 2 of The Method!

    Finally, one of the books we were supposed to have read! It's Richard Boleslavsky's book, possibly the first book on the modern approach to acting (yes, it came out BEFORE An Actor Prepares)!
