Los Angeles-based The Actor's Lab Opens Charlotte Office
CHARLOTTE - J.D. Lewis, one of the most well-respected and
highly-recommended acting coaches and teachers in Los Angeles, has
expanded his company, The Actor's Lab, with an office in Charlotte.
Lewis, who recently moved to Charlotte with his two sons, has leased a
space in Hart-Witzen Gallery in NoDa and plans to start teaching this
fall.
"I felt like Charlotte was the perfect spot to expand The Actor's Lab,"
Lewis says. "With its blossoming cultural and artistic community, it is
also in close proximity to Wilmington's film industry. In addition, it
offers a great place to raise my two kids."
Established in 1990 by J.D. Lewis, The Lab has been the home to many
working actors in Los Angeles. Classes focus not only on the craft of
acting, but also on the business aspects of pursuing an acting career.
In addition to being a well-known acting school, The Actor's Lab houses
an internationally award-winning theater company.
The most recent project from The Actor's Lab is AmerWrecka, written and
directed by J.D. Lewis. AmerWrecka had its international premiere at
the renowned Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August 2005.
With five-star reviews and the buzz from the Festival, it became one of
the most sought after plays for 2006. Fifteen members of The Actor's
Lab traveled to Limerick, Ireland, where AmerWrecka headlined The
Unfringed Limerick Festival. With sold-out houses and standing
ovations, it continues its momentum by going into pre-production for
the feature film version and also a theatrical run in New York City.
"He is the guru of acting coaches in this town. Studying with J.D.
Lewis, you'll be most certainly on the road to success," said David
Kirkpatrick, President Paramount Pictures and Touchstone Pictures
"If you have the chance to study with J.D. Lewis, it will change the
course of your career," said Gary Dontzig, Executive Producer of hit
television shows "Suddenly Susan" and "Murphy Brown."
"If you are lucky enough to get into this class, you have a real shot
at learning the craft from a master," said Tom Hahn, Vice President of
Talent/Head of Casting, Tri-Star/Columbia Pictures
