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 …

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.

The actor learns a lot by seeing themselves on camera …
