ADULT FILM

“ADULT FILM appreciates mess, grown-up topics, ambiguity, bad behavior, the dark side...they surround themselves in an atmosphere of creativity and possibility.”
— sheila O'Malley, Roger Ebert

Working Classes

We are working class. We believe in work that is deeply, unabashedly, American. By that, we mean work that is singular, individuated, and full of size. Work that is unafraid of failure, that risks everything in order to get to something true, something real. Work that is lived in, sweaty, and sensual. Work that is mature, and messy, and cutting.

We believe in artists who are willing to put themselves on the line. Artists who can and will reveal the worst and best parts of themselves in equal measure, Who are interested in questions, not answers. Who aren’t afraid of being “unfinished”.

We are creating a home for like-minded people to share ideas, to train, and to perform. Our classes are affordable, our ticket prices are cheap, and our doors open to all who want to join us. the working class once had a seat at the grand table of American theatre and cinema, and  it's time to take that seat back.

CLASSES are nonrefundable (unless spot can be filled from waitlist) and nontransferable
