Description

Lesly Kahn, Artistic Director, joins Susan and Ben to discuss 1923, a 2022 drama series. Lesly shares what it’s like having a career as an acting teacher and coach in Los Angeles and globally. She discusses how her first teaching job drastically changed her life, the differences between teaching and coaching actors, how a well crafted TV show can transport the viewer to another time and place, and the importance of creating your own content. She also dissects Helen Mirren’s monologue in 1923. Lesly plays our “Movie Monologues” game.
