Course Description:


The Actor’s Studio is Magnus Theatre’s adult theatre education program, running throughout the 2025-2026 season. Participants meet weekly for hands-on workshops led by Theatre in Education Director Jordan Blaxill. Explore a wide range of acting and theatre techniques — from character work and voice to storytelling and scene creation — in a supportive, collaborative environment. No experience necessary. Everyone is welcome.

Fall Term: Storytelling & Creation
September - December 2025

This fall, we’ll explore imaginative ways of telling new stories using improvisation, myths, and legends as creative inspiration.

Participants will:

  • Develop original characters
  • Build theatrical worlds
  • Shape unique narratives
  • Learn to collaborate and make creative choices

The term culminates in a showcase performance of original scenes and stories, created and performed for friends and family.

Spring Term: The Odyssey - Thunder Bay
January - June 2026
What does it mean to come home — and what if home has changed while you were gone?

Inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey, this original devised production will reimagine the ancient epic in the context of Thunder Bay. Participants will collaborate to build a brand-new play, blending:

  • Myth and memory
  • Local voices and experiences
  • Character creation, ensemble work, and storytelling

The process culminates in a public performance of the ensemble’s original work.
