Goshen awards “Acting Anyone” (part of "AFTSPA.Org, a 501c3not-for-profit)
 Best Performing Arts Company for 2018

GOSHEN, NY:  Acting Anyone, established by Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc nearly a decade ago by the producers of the movie “Collar” was initially intended to provide training of local talent for use in their many future productions. Since then, the program has trained nearly 200 of the area's finest talent in the basic technique of Sanford Meisner. “Acting Anyone” was awarded “Best Performing Arts Company 2018 Goshen”

The Meisner Technique is currently taught in most college and university acting programs and professional schools throughout the world. Mr. Wilson, a graduate at the Neighborhood Playhouse Class of 71 was trained by the master himself as well as with Meisner’s protégé, William Esper (William Esper Studios). Between them, David has logged hundreds of hours of actors training experience.

David’s extensive career spans nearly five decades. He has starred in and has been prominently featured as an actor in hundreds of productions in the US and abroad, working with such well known names as Sir Anthony Hopkins, Angela Lansbury, Charlton Heston, Colleen Dewhurst, Ed Asner, Josh Brolin, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and dozens more.

A noted vocalist as well, and former student of Seth Riggs ("Singing for the Stars"), he also provides the same voice training Riggs has used to train Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, and hundreds more of America's most recognizable voices. In addition to acting he has written, produced, and directed many productions of all types.

Acting classes are currently conducted at St James Episcopal Church, 1 St James Place, Goshen, NY. The program is accepting applications for enrollment in the January 2019 sessions, which may be expanded (depending on interest and supplemental funding), to include a number of additional courses in cinematography, sound recording, voice over acting, directing and writing. Voice and private classes are conducted at the offices of Willy-Gilly Productions at 222 Greenwich Ave., Goshen, NY.  Enrollment is limited.
