We are thrilled to welcome back Gigi Preston to our summer line-up of Springer Theatre Academy teachers. Gigi taught our very popular Acting for Film class during our winter session.

As a writer, producer and actress, Gigi has been involved in theater and film production for more than ten years. Having recently returned from Los Angeles, she is an alumnus from the notable and respected Beverly Hills Playhouse. Her career in the arts began in theater where she wrote, produced and directed original works and significant plays. As writer and producer, her film, Recalculating, received special selection in Atlanta and Los Angeles Film Festivals. In addition, her film, I Am One, was voted top finalist in the Los Angeles 24 Hour Film Race. Her credits are not confined to acting, writing, and producing but all aspects of film production: Script Supervising, Production Coordinating, Production Manager, Directing and Casting. Recently, Ms. Preston produced Suicide For Beginners starring Sid Haig, a dark comedy slated to be released this next year.

Springer Theatre Academy students are in for a treat this summer with Gigi on board! For more information on the Springer Theatre Academy, call us at (706) 324-1100.

This summer marks the 20th Anniversary of the Springer Theatre Academy. During the past 20 years, the Springer Theatre Academy has become one of the nation’s premier theatre training programs for young adults and the largest program of it’s kind in the southeast.

Our teachers are some of the most sought after theatre professionals in the country and we are very proud to introduce to you this summer’s line up.

This summer we’re excited to welcome back Jens Rasmussen to the summer session teacher line-up. Jens is a NYC based actor, teacher, and producer. Together with Kimberly Faith Hickman, he founded Bechdel Project, a company that develops new work (that passes the Bechdel test) and offers educational residencies across the country. Recent projects include the world premiere of Seen / By Everyone Off-Broadway, and Nation Geographic Channel’s ground breaking African survival program MYGRATIONS.

 

Stay tuned, as we reveal more of our 20th Anniversary line-up of teachers!
