Narrows Community Theater, Inc. presents
“Act Up!” – Acting Classes
Calling all couch potatoes (or, as us ladies prefer to be known as, couch “to-ma-toes”)! You can have a rollicking good time while learning the fundamentals of acting at Narrows Community Theater’s “Act Up!” Class, taught by John Stillwaggon, professional actor and seasoned instructor with national teaching experience.
I decided, after hamming it up style “au natural” for the past few years, to see what it takes to be a real actor. So, off I went, a little fearful and equipped with only a desire to learn more about the craft, to my first “Act Up!” session.

"To Kill A Mockingbird"
Written by Tom Kane
published on October 25, 2007
in the Brooklyn Eagle
On Thursday last,
at the Fort Hamilton Army base,
my friend Joe Autuoro directed
a scene from the classic “To
Kill A Mockingbird.” It
was a Narrows Community Theater
production in conjunction “The
Big Read,” an organization
that encourages reading through
the Brooklyn Public Library system
and the community. It’s
a quality program, and kudos to
NCT, and in particular, first-time
director Autuoro, for stepping
to the plate. We definitely need
more of these lit–minded
projects.
