National Players Actors Lead Public Speaking Workshop

Tandem alum Ben Cole (TFS '08) and Josh Bierman of The National Players Touring Company led a terrific workshop for our Public Speaking class. The workshop, called The Noise Within: Discovering Your Voice, led students through vocal exercises and warmups as well as some engaging activities to help them discover ways to use voice and body together to speak powerfully and purposefully. The National Players, the country's longest running touring theater company out of Olney, MD (in their 70th year!), was in town to present their dynamic production of Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' at The Paramount yesterday, Our entire junior class, which reads Miller's play each year, attended the performance. Ben has been touring with the company for several years and was also a Speaker Series guest to share his life as a professional actor. Ben was an active and avid theatre participant during his seven years at Tandem and has been working as an actor since his graduation from college. He has been a member of The National Players for two seasons and also serves as the group's road manager and technical director.
