Fort Mason, once known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California, is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay. Fort Mason served as an Army post for more than 100 years, initially as a coastal defense site and subsequently as a military port facility. During World War II, it was the principal port for the Pacific campaign.Today it is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the site of several cultural facilities. It is a National Historic Landmark District with over 49 buildings of historic significance, spread over.GeographyFort Mason can be split into two distinct areas. The upper area, sometimes called Fort Mason, is situated on a headland and was the site of the original coastal fortifications. The lower area, Fort Mason Center, is situated close to water level to the west of Upper Fort Mason, and is the site of the former military port, with its piers and warehouses. The Marina Green lies to the west of Fort Mason, while Aquatic Park is to the east.HistoryEarlier private ownership by John C. FrémontThe nucleus of Fort Mason was a private property owned by John C. Frémont, the world-famous explorer of the US west, who also spearheaded the conquest of California from Mexico, and ran as the first presidential nominee of the extant Republican Party in 1856. As alleged in a 1968 federal lawsuit filed by his descendants over the 70-acre parcel then at issue, Frémont bought a 13.5-acre property in the mid-1850s for $42,000, and then improved it by about $40,000.

BUSINESS: In her acting classes, Nancy provides a no nonsense, realistic overview of the acting business. As much as aspiring actors like to focus on craft, acting is also a business. Nancy is well aware of how important this is to an actor's career. Actors can take advantage of her wisdom, including how to pick a perfect headshot, how to format resumes, how to get seen by casting directors, and other important information for the LA market, such as tools for marketing their acting career. This is one of the often overlooked, but crucial elements to real success in the LA market. NETWORKING: Nancy provides information and coaching to develop and enhance essential networking skills. She covers the DO's and the more important DON'Ts of engaging in and maintaining the ever important correspondence and marketing skills an aspiring actor must have to be successful. PSYCHOLOGY: Few other careers are as competitive or elusive as acting. As with most creative endeavors, there is a huge emotional investment an actor makes when he or she decides to pursue this path. It can be daunting on so many levels. Many actors move to LA prematurely to follow their dream only to find they are isolated and unequipped with the support and coping skills needed to deal with rejection and uncertainty along the way. Though they may be marketable or possess talent, they may not have access to the proper network or level of skill to get them in the door and on to the next level. Nancy emphasizes the extreme rarity of super-stardom and encourages students to embrace the journey and passion of the craft through acting classes rather than the end result. She focuses on preparation and realistic goal setting for each individual given their marketability and skill set. On both a group and individual basis, she helps her students to recognize the realities of the business, advocating they develop other aspects of their lives. PERSONAL (GROWTH) TRUTH IN PROCESS: Many students find through the pursuit of acting in the First Take Program that they grow not only as actors but as people. Acting compels the individual to seek out the truth about themselves, to reflect, ponder and remain present. Magic happens the moment an actor begins to live in the moment and experience the beauty of his or her own spontaneity. RELATIONSHIP BUILDING (CULTURE): First Take students enjoy a unique culture and camaraderie with one another. More often than not you will hear a student comment on the friendships and support networks he or she has built while attending on-going acting classes. At First Take Acting school in San Francisco, Nancy has created an environment of equality, humility and above all respect amongst peers. There are no hierarchies or rankings, therefore ensuring a safe and inviting learning atmosphere. Acting is challenging enough without the additional pressure of competition amongst friends. Students are encouraged to find their own unique gifts and cultivate them, in and out of their First Take acting classes.
