Second Night Nerves

Second Night Nerves

Ready to go a little further in your acting journey? 4 weeks of proper scene work for actors with some experience.

Second Night Nerves picks up where First Night Nerves leaves off. It's designed for anyone who's completed First Night Nerves or has some previous acting or performance experience and wants to get back in the room. You don't need to have trained at Go On So before.

Over just 4 weeks, we'll move beyond the foundations and get properly stuck into the work: text, subtext, character, relationships, objectives, stakes and what isn't being said. You'll learn how to break down a scene, make stronger choices, work more independently and stay connected to your scene partner rather than getting stuck in your own head.

You'll work on contemporary scenes with a partner, rehearse them properly, take direction, try different choices and discover how a scene changes when you stop trying to "perform" it and start responding to what's actually happening.

It's a step up from First Night Nerves, but it's still Go On So: small numbers, a supportive room and no expectation that you arrive knowing everything.

Suitable for: First Night Nerves graduates, returning actors, amateur performers, or anyone with some previous acting, drama or performance experience.

4 weeks · Thursdays 19 November – 10 December 2026 · 7:00–9:30pm

Taught by actor & trainer Cheryl Walsh.
