Actors Repertory Theatre Presents
Escaping Anxiety
Devisded by Ricky Elliot, Victoria Sova, Colton Farnham, and Dana Powell
Directed by Strother Gaines
Congratulations! You have landed the highly competitive position of un-paid intern at B.O.D.Y corp. While we can’t offer you health insurance, or a living wage, as an Internal Affairs Intern you will receive hands on experience piloting a real (mostly) functioning human being. You will have the opportunity to work alongside seasoned employees, as you assist with the daily operations of one of our most reliable and low maintenance models, Susan. Sure, Susan’s got a few things she’s working on but hey who hasn’t been filled with the sense of impending doom recently? I’m sure it’s nothing you can’t handle. Right? After all, you did state that you were a problem solver in your application. We look forward to working with you. As we always say here at B.O.D.Y. corp, we expect the most from our least valued staff members, and we know that you will exceed our expectations.
Escaping Anxiety is an immersive escape room experience designed with a licensed therapist to help teach tools for managing anxiety.

Saturday, February 22 @ 2:00, 4:00, 7:00, & 8:30 PM

We've been preparing people for careers in acting since 1975. Graduates enter the job market with a strong foundation in the craft of acting, the business savvy to be successful in a competitive market, and a network of professional contacts.
Students work closely with a faculty of professional actors, directors, producers, and playwrights who are actively working in theater, film, and television. The intensive training offered by our school can make your dream of working as an actor a reality. Tuition at NCDA is competitively priced for the area and dramatically lower than similar acting classes in LA and NYC.
The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
Classes begin on May 12, 2025. Don’t miss out!
