The Green Room - Actor Meet-up

So You Wanna Be an Actor? Hi friendssss! I’ve found that it can be surprisingly hard to make time to see fellow actors, writers, models, and other creative people outside of class, rehearsals, and work. So I wanted to create a casual weekly space where we can connect, meet new people, share what we’re working on, and build community. As we grow, the location may change if I find a spot that’s an even better fit for the group. The vibe is less of a formal networking event and more of a relaxed creative meetup where people can talk about acting, auditions, projects, industry experiences, goals, or whatever else is on their minds. A few notes: * No drinking is necessary—totally up to you. * The bar also has food, soda, and other non-alcoholic options available. * Feel free to invite actor friends and other creatives who would enjoy the community. * Come as you are—whether you’re just starting out or have been in the industry for years. Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing where this community grows! — Sierra

the Carl Velas ACTING STUDIO is back in Action

After a long break the Carl Velas ACTING STUDIO is resuming weekly classes in Dramatic Acting. Each class will develop a short Dramatic scene starting with a reading of the script and ending with a 'staged' performance. Everyone will get a chance to participate as both an Actor in the scene and an observer in the audience. The assumption is that anyone who attends a meeting of this group is already capable of Acting to a certain degree and is ready and willing to jump right into the scene. The goal of each meeting is not only to determine if you have what it takes to be a Dramatic Actor, but whether or not you enjoy it enough to do it rather than go to the beach.
