Shauna Miles, “Actor B” in Well and Third-Year Student of the National Theatre Conservatory

Shauna Miles, National Theatre Conservatory Student

My experience in WELL thus far has been fantastic! My initial two years of training at the NATIONAL THEATRE CONSERVATORY have been in preparation for an opportunity like this; every rehearsal has given me a chance to take all I’ve learned and put it to practical use. The role of “Actor B” has been challenging, but also incredibly exciting and satisfying. I’m tasked with creating 5 distinct characters. Everyday I call upon my first year training in Larry Hecht’s “Extended Character” class to guide and inspire me in my development of each of these very different and very specific people.

And of course, working along side a Denver Center Theatre Company veteran like Kathy Brady has been a wonderful bonus. I love watching the way she continually uncovers the depth and humanity of the character she’s crafting. Bearing witness to the nuances and choices of each of the actors in this production has been absolutely invaluable; it’s a wonderful culmination to my time here at the NTC and I feel so fortunate to have been afforded this experience as I prepare to re-enter the “real world” of acting.
