Level II Acting for the Camera Workshop will be under the guidance of former casting director, network producer, and Nickells/Ross co-founder Susan Nickells.

The power-packed weekend will culminate with detailed presentations and a panel discussion with the staff for both students and parents, along with a screening of students' work.

"We are developing a core group of performers outside of California whom we can develop and represent for the 2007-2008 pilot season," says Sherwin Ross, co-founder of Nickells/Ross Management." Our workshops are defining moments in others lives, shaping their creativity and their life skills in a way they never forget. Any intelligent parent would want their child involved in this workshop."

"Our child has taken this workshop and left with a whole new sense of possibilities," says parent Sheri Monaldo. "Professionally, his acting skills have been greatly enhanced. Aside from creative growth, Susan encourages participants to consider all aspects of their individual gifts and apply them as life skills."
