More about THE ACTING CLASS
Professional actor (Étoile, Mean Girls 2024, Ghosts, Bob's Burgers) and award-winning podcaster (Dead Eyes) CONNOR RATLIFF is a classically trained performer who graduated "with honours" from the prestigious Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts over a quarter of a century ago, making his professional debut on the stage of the Royal Court Theatre in London’s West End. During that same year, he also performed at Buckingham Palace for Queen Elizabeth II. In the decades that followed, he has accumulated numerous credits as a star of stage, screen and stream, appearing in multiple Netflix Original Films as well as content on CBS, NBC, FOX, TBS, Home Box Office, Amazon Prime, and the now-defunct comedy platforms, Go90 and Seeso.
But none of that matters now.
What matters now is CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS, an unending series of workshop performances where he will, before your very eyes, demonstrate what acting truly IS.
For this special IMPOSTERS THEATER edition, Connor welcomes a longtime friend and collaborator to THE ACTING CLASS – professional actor/writer/comedian/producer JAMES III (Astronomy Club, Black Mirror, Big Mouth, Good Burger 2, Abbott Elementary) – for an in-depth discussion of their shared craft and a full-bodied demonstration of James’ unexplored potential that could, perhaps, push him to his breaking point.
This performance will be slightly interactive and completely improvised, lasting approximately 90 minutes.
Defiantly self-indulgent and beyond pointless, THE ACTING CLASS is your opportunity to witness the kind of greatness – only slightly appreciated by The Industry – that has kept Connor Ratliff steadily employed for nearly half of the past 10 years.
