The Acting Lab is a laid-back meet-up for amateur actors to perform, have fun, and help each other improve. Whether it’s a scene, a monologue, or some improv, everyone gets a chance to jump in and try things out. After each performance, the group shares honest, supportive feedback so we can all learn and grow together. It’s a great way to practice, connect, and build confidence in a relaxed, creative space.
