Anyone can drop in to act out a scene and/or bring in a scene to watch or direct it. Monologues are welcome as well. Performers often hook up with independent filmmakers present. What we do is also excellent preparation for auditions.

When: Tuesday nights - drop in between 7 pm and 9:30 pm. Open to the public.

Where: Cineworks - 1131 Howe Street, Vancouver MAP

More Info: Call Cass/Irwin or Josh at 604-872-4638 and leave a brief message

Expect scenes from classic plays, film, and television, as well as newly written scenes never performed before. Let us know if you would like to direct a scene you bring in. Most scenes are 1-3 pages enabling us to get people up on stage at least four times during the night. Socialize later at a local karaoke.
