What is “Method Acting” a.k.a. “The Method”? Some say it’s for crazy people, some say it’s unnecessary if your a good actor, some say, it’s realism and how real relatable characters are successfully brought to life….Whatever your opinion or "method" is, we’re going to dive in and talk about it, debate it and try to get to the core of it. Maybe you’ll appreciate it more. Maybe less. Or maybe you dont give a rats rear and just want an hour with three of your favorite people :)
