Acting in a time such as this

Atlantic Stage 2

We are thrilled to welcome back Atlantic Acting School alumnus Chris Smith (Paranormal Activity 3) for an exclusive one night only event presented as a part of the New York Comedy Festival directed by Emily Pendergast.

In his new one-man show, actor Chris Smith asks the tough questions like, “With so many terrible things going on, should I keep being an actor? If not, what should I be? A doctor? Do you realize how long that would take?” He discusses the principles of talking and moving around in front of a camera, and has an incredible realization: not only should he keep acting, but it’s probably the most important thing anyone could do right now.

Acting in a time such as this is presented outside of Atlantic’s regular season and tickets are not included in 2023|2024 Season Membership packages.
