FREE ACTING CLASS WITH TOM BYRN
The award winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater
Company is offering a free night of fun for ages 16 and over! If you're
a seasoned performer, never performed, or a theater lover who wants
to find out more about how actors work, join us on Friday March 23
from 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. for an acting class taught by actor/director/writer, Tom Byrn. His focus for the class will be improvisation and the basics of scene work. Although the class is free, reservations are recommended - and wear comfortable clothes. The location is The First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St. in Cape May, where East Lynne Theater Company (ELTC) is in residence.
Tom was in ELTC's production of He and She last summer,
receiving an excellent review in "The Wall Street Journal," and was one
of the guest teachers for ELTC's Student Summer Workshop. Also for ELTC, he performed in The
Dictator andThe Ransom of Red Chief adapted by artistic director, Gayle Stahlhuth. He helped Cape
May celebrate its 400th Anniversary by being in People of Cape May v. Johan van Buren written by
Judge Frank Visser from The Netherlands, and is working on a play, Historical Spout Offs, based on
editorials from local Cape May newspapers printed before 1920. ELTC has already had two public
staged readings of the work. Currently, he is in rehearsal for A Wrinkle in Time at The People's Light
and Theatre Company in Malvern, PA. Prior to that he directed The Living Newspaper, a new play with
music about the WPA Federal Theater for Mad River Theater in Ohio, and played Caliban/Gonzalo in
The Tempest at Act II Playhouse in Ambler, PA. He has worked with many Philadelphia area theater
companies, and was an ensemble member at the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble for eleven years.
Tom is a coeditor of "Letters to the Editor: 200 Years in the Life of an American Town," published by
Simon & Schuster.
ELTC is able to offer this class to the Cape May community due to funding from "The Stages
Festival."
"The Stages Festival," now in its 15th season, is a month-long, state-wide celebration of theater with
discounted and/or free tickets to all events. The organization responsible for this much anticipated
program is the New Jersey Theatre Alliance (NJTA): the statewide consortium of professional theaters
in the Garden State, of which East Lynne Theater Company is a proud member.
Also funded through "The Stages Festival" is the student performance of The Wizard of Oz on
Thursday March 29 at 7:00 p.m. at West Cape May Elementary School, 301 Moore St., in West Cape
May, directed by Gayle Stahlhuth. The performance is free and open to the community.

ELTC's shows for "The Stages Festival" that are beyond Cape May County include Robert
Aberdeen's popular Victorian Magic which will appear at libraries at Point Pleasant, Lavallette, and Surf
City, and Sherlock Holmes Adventure of the Norwood Builder goes to libraries in Mahwah, Toms River,
and Barnegat.
Also in March, Michele LaRue's anti-suffrage satire written 100 years ago, Someone Must Wash the
Dishes, will travel to Wilton, CT, due to The League of Women Voters, a library in Katonah, NY, and
several libraries in Illinois.
