MASTERCLASS FOR ACTORS WITH JASON ALEXANDER

MASTERCLASS FOR ACTORS WITH JASON ALEXANDER

If you’re at a point in your work where you want deeper clarity, stronger choices and direct guidance from a master actor-teacher, this masterclass is for you!

The Lighthouse International Film Festival is hosting a unique five-day ACTING MASTERCLASS with Jason Alexander on beautiful Long Beach Island — an intimate, hands-on experience designed and taught by Jason himself.

Jason’s approach is deeply practical and actor-focused. His technique breaks performance down into clear, actionable choices — the kind you can actually use in rehearsal, on set or on stage.

This masterclass is about understanding what decisions shape a performance and how those choices build into truthful, repeatable work you can rely on in any medium.

How the Masterclass Works

Day One (Sun 6/7) You will perform your prepared monologue. Each performance is professionally videotaped — a clear starting point so you can see your growth across the week.

Days Two (Mon–Wed, 6/8 – 6/10) Daily four-hour sessions diving into Jason’s transformational process. You’ll explore specific performance choices, emotional access and how to adjust your work moment-to-moment.

Day Five (Thu 6/11) The masterclass culminates in a live showcase at LBI’s historic Surflight Theatre. Participants perform their evolved monologues on stage, followed by a Q&A with Jason and the audience.
