This meetup group is for people who enjoy going to smaller theaters - rather than the larger venues where most seats are so far from the stage that you have to imagine the actors' expressions! Everyone buys their tickets separately, although the entire group also meets before the play to have a meal together, and often goes for coffee afterwards as well. But no problem if you just want to meet up for the play itself sometimes - that's fine too! While suggestions from group members are always wel …

This is a group for Christians who enjoy acting for theater and/or camera. It is an opportunity to gather together with others who offer praise by way of performance. ALL skills and levels are welcome. I started this group because it marries two things that bring me great joy: acting and my relationship with God.

In the this meetup, I work on all the basics of acting. These are: cold readings, scene study, improv, and monologues. Scene study is the basis of actor training. We use scripts from films which I supply in addition to those brought in by students. Actors who join my class are expected to work with a scene partner outside of class during the week and to bring the scene back to class for performance. We may video tape the scene if it is ready. The actor learns a lot by seeing themselves on camera …

Sorry, but the success of this group has forced us to put a limit to the number of members. A choir can get too large. We could however use some tenor & baritone/bass voices. If you're interested (and especially if you're a tenor or bass), please put in a request through the "Join Us". As spaces open up, we'll check back with you; and if you're a tenor or bass, you'll be granted access immediately. Everyone is welcome, beginners or advanced singers. Voices of Tustin is a community choir lead by …

If your troupe wants to be listed just e-mail me! I will always say yes :). So if you are in an improv troupe, love improv, or just are looki …
