Once a year, one of the loviest people (and casting directors) flies in to ATC from LA to teach her sells-out-in-a-minute FILM INTENSIVE to our young and adult actors.

That person, is the incomperable Deborah Dion!

Today, Deborah wrapped a 4-day marathon, teaching 44 students from 3rd graders thru adults. Every single one of them walked out of the workshop raving about her as a teacher - from the time she took pre-workshop picking out multiple, personalized sides for each student to learn, to how she gets students in only a couple of hours to dive headfirst into their scene work and grow as actors.

And one of the best parts of the job, is getting to hang out with her. She is a party!

Carole, Deborah, and Steppenwolf Assoc. Artistic Director/Casting Director Erica Daniels:



We will miss you Deborah! Until next year!
