The Simon Studio Philosophy for Actors, Writers, Directors, Artists and Thinkers for Training and Production (Since 1978) (Theatre and On Camera) WHERE THE CLASSICAL MEETS THE CONTEMPORARY!, (AUDIT)Call 212 841 0204 ($20_Special w/ FACEBOOK RSVP Regular Price $75), 250 w. 40 st.. Biography: (Coached/Trained/Director of:James Earl Jones, James Woods, John Lithgow, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson), Yale Rep, NY Shakespeare Fest, Royal Court, Simon Studio Presents: the Tennessee Williams, Festival, and Shakespeare's Bard @ The Bar Putting contemporary writers side be side with the classics, as well as actors with directors. The best training to help the artist grow is one night you're doing Pinter, or Williams, the next Shakespeare. New works loosens the language of the classics. The continual work on the classics also gives you a discipline and through that respect, it reinforces your respect in contemporary works.

Roger was a founding member at Yale Repertory Theatre in the 60's and instead of going "west" to Hollywood, which would have been commercially profitable, he went to England! At Yale, he had the extraordinary opportunity to listen to amazingly vibrant directors Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, Jonathan Miller, to experience theatre companies like the Living Theatre, the Open Theatre, actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company, who came to perform. When he was invited to teach in London for a summer, He leapt at it and directed a play by Megan Terry called Keep Tightly Closed in a Cool Dry Place. When flags were used as bed spreads we were promptly arrested. England still had a censor in 1967. But all of a sudden Roger was invited to direct throughout Europe, principally the Royal Court Theatre (London), State Theatres in Denmark, Nancy Festival, Du Monde, at the Abbey Theatre and Edinburgh Festival. The world became much smaller. The Simon Studio is a direct result of his years directing. Actors don't have to create in a room all by themselves, directors, and writers should be there too. The Arts should be a common language, an inter-action.

(THE SIMON STUDIO and Artistic Director Roger Hendricks Simon invite you to join them for a celebration of Shakespeare's 450th. birthday this Wed., April 23 at their Drama Book Shop Theatre, 250 W. 40 St. from 6:30 - 9:30 pm. Participating associate directors and guest industry professionals join Mr. Simon (NY Shakespeare Festival, London's Royal Court Theatre and Yale Rep) as he directs his actors in a variety of work in progress Shakespeare scenes and monologues and as part of the studio's current Shakespeare Film/Theatre Training and Performance Lab. Later in June Mr. Simon and THE SIMON STUDIO present their annual Bard at the Bar - an environmental collage of Shakespeare scenes, monologues, songs and dance at the historic Players Club of 16 Gramercy Park South. The Studio regularly works on camera w/film and live theatre. It is designed for both those w/little or no Shakespeare and/or film experience as well as veterans who want to "brush up" and take it to the next level. All work is developed and performed with current studio members, alumni, and resident guests from film and Broadway and London stage. The studio uniquely combines actors with resident and guest playwrights/screenwriters, directors, producers, agents/managers and casting directors for industry/public live staged readings, performances and film screenings of both classical and contemporary new work developed in the Lab. Physical and vocal work, on camera monologues/scene study, cold reading, improv, audition techniques and private coaching are all included. Mr. Simon recently acted opposite Michael Douglas in Oliver Stone's WALL STREET2 and has directed and coached James Earl Jones, John Lithgow, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tovah Feldshuh, Bibi Anderson and James Woods. Now in its 36th. year, THE SIMON STUDIO is an NEA-awarded grant and Samuel French Short Play Festival winner. Admission: $10. donation to the studio's scholarship fund. For reservations: (212) 841-0204 or rhsstudio@gmail.com.
