Rebecca Kitt, a Hollywood acting coach who provided training for actors in the filmed-in-Hawai'i "Tropic Thunder," will share trade insights in a lecture and provide performing skills in two acting workshops later this month.

Kitt, whose training is based on techniques based on the late Roy London's teachings as well as on Ivana Chubbuck's "The Power of the Actor" book, will present a lecture and Q&A session, from 7 to 9 p.m. July 18, at Seto Hall, 'Iolani School, 653 Kamoku St. Admission is $50.

She also will stage more comprehensive sessions for 20 actors, who will work on 10 scenes, in workshop classes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 19 and 20 at Seto Hall. Cost will be $300 to participate in the scene study class or $50 per day to audit. The two-day session is intended to personalize instruction to enable actors to further their presence and savvy in the creative and performing arts.
