Pralgo’s Acting Class
Pralgo’s Acting Class offers audits for only five dollars. While not technically “free”, Robert Pralgo’s class is included in this list because it is one of Atlanta’s best kept secrets, and we guarantee that you will definitely get your $5 worth. The cost to participate is also pretty inexpensive and usually around $15-20. This class has been referred to as a “gym for actors” that uses objectives and verbs to workout multiple points of views to gain a better understanding within yourself when it comes to making effective choices. Like and follow on Facebook to get information about the next class. There is no set class schedule, and the instructor posts on Facebook when his schedule is open.
