Description
In Level 5: Process to Performance you’ll utilize the steps you’ve learned in Levels 1 – 4 in a rehearsal process to understand how you can take the Meisner work outside of our classroom and into the real world. While many directors and other actors in the working world won’t utilize these tools, we’ll help you understand how you can do this work on your own outside of the rehearsal room and show up to the first rehearsal prepared to collaborate. As this class requires more homework than Levels 1 – 4, all students must be prepared to dedicate more time outside of class. Level 5 culminates in a showcase to celebrate all of your work in the Meisner Acting Program at Green Shirt Studio.
Attendance Policy
In order to get the most out of your work with us, our students should make showing up to every class on time a priority.
We understand that things do come up so if you know you're going to miss a class, please give your instructor as advance notice as possible. This will help them get you caught up and not throw off the rest of the group. Scheduling a make-up class is possible but not guaranteed.
Students enrolled in our Meisner Acting Program can only advance to the next level if they've attended at least 6 of their 8 sessions. If a student misses more than 2 sessions, they will need to retake the level in order to advance in the program.
Cancellation Policy
Student Cancellation
If a student is withdrawing from a workshop more than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition will be kept on file for a future class or workshop for a calendar year.
If a student withdraws from a workshop less than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition is non-refundable or transferable.
We appreciate you respecting this policy for the best experience for our instructors and students!
Please reach out at 773-217-9565 if you have any questions.
Studio Cancellation
Occasionally we'll have to cancel a workshop due to low enrollment. We're sorry if that happens to you! If we have to cancel a workshop you've signed up for, we will give you at least 48 hours notice and promptly start your refund process.
In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), a make-up will be scheduled as soon as it's safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio.
In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes.

About the Teacher
Jack Schultz has been the proud owner of Green Shirt Studio since 2019, where he's logged thousands of hours in the classroom guiding students of all experience levels through Levels 1–5 of Green Shirt’s Meisner Acting Program. His passion for training actors is matched only by his love for building community—something he took to the next level in 2023 when he co-founded Chicago Actor Staffing with his wife and creative partner, Alison Schaufler.
Before Green Shirt, Jack served as Artistic Director of The Agency, where his acclaimed solo show I'm Falling In Love All The Time played to sold-out crowds in Chicago’s off-loop theatre scene. The show—an honest, humorous, and deeply human look at opioid addiction told through the lens of caffeine and romance—went on to tour colleges across the country, sparking meaningful conversations around substance use and recovery.
Jack’s other stage credits with The Agency include I Wish To Apologize to the People of Illinois, The Spirit of '76, and Hellcab (2017 & 2018). He’s a graduate of the iO Training Center, a 200-hour certified RYT yoga instructor, and completed the True Acting Diploma Course with Master Meisner Teacher Larry Silverberg.
Jack also appeared on The Carbonaro Effect (Season 7, Episode 2), where he was hilariously convinced that a Viking skeleton was attacking him at a construction site near O’Hare. Yes—really.
