in the US and director of the film, “Luminaries.” She was also a dancer in one of Coca-Cola’s Refreshing Young Filmmakers commercials. She holds her Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts in theatre degrees from Temple University in Philadelphia. Some theatre credits include Wintertime, True Love, A Dream Play, The Shape of Things (LA premiere), Butterfly Kiss, Reverse Transcription, Tough, The Leader and many more.

As of June 2005 Kelly graduated UCLA with her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Acting. Ms Hutter believes in the power of the artist and their individuality. She believes that all art express the human experience, and, if given a trusting and safe environment, an artist’s growth can be limitless.
Cliff Fantigrossi is currently pursuing his life-long
dream of a career in theatre. In May 2003, he completed his studies at James Madison
University and earned a BA in Theater with a
concentration in Musical Theater. While at
JMU, he was awarded the honor of representing
the School of Theater and Dance at the 2003
South Eastern Theater Conference and served
as an ambassador to the program for recruitment
purposes. Cliff has an extensive resume which
includes leads in such musicals as The
Fantasticks, Carnival, You’re a Good Man Charlie
Brown, Godspell, How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Trying and Pippin. He has also
performed in numerous plays some of which are A
Flea in Her Ear, Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n Roll and
Savage Love. His film credits include The
Interview and The Compulsive (both under the
direction of Emmy Award winner Neema Barnett).
Mr. Fantigrossi has also performed as a
singer/dancer in musical reviews of Songs for
a New World, Closer than Ever and Christmas in
Chocolatetown (yes, that Hershey Christmas
staple). He has been fortunate enough to study
Musical Theater under Eddie Korbich (Broadway:
Wicked, Carousel (Mr. Snow), Sweeney Todd
(Tobias) and Seussical) one of the most
respected and acclaimed Broadway performers
today. He also studied under Andy Leech
(performer/director of numerous national

enough to be offered many contracts some of
which include Peter Grey Terhune (cruise
ship casting), Allen Albert Productions
(Hershey), Charleston Stage, Orlando U.C.F.
Shakespeare Festival, Theater of West Virginia
and Theater III. He has a deep love for
theater and hopes to be able to pass it on
whether it be on the stage or in the classroom.
He believes the expression of art, either
through music, word or movement only heightens
the understanding of humanity while filling
the heart and soul with joy.

STAGE COMBAT is taught through the
teachings of Western Boxing technique.
(Jeet Kune Do) Combative movement is
a method of creative expression. Once
the technique is taught on basic
introductory movements,
the students
will learn how to apply it to the stage
in a safe and structured way.

ACTING will give students introductory
approaches to the PROCESS of acting.
Students will learn terminology related to
acting and actors through the
introduction of: relaxation, ensemble
work, improvisation, monologue
writing, simple scenes, and more.

CREATIVE DRAMATICS will include
sensory adventures, exploration of sound
and words, storytelling, character building,
an introduction to Greek choral work,
monologue writing, and creative movement.
The last hour of class is devoted to
creating a piece for the "performance in
progress."
