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.
Join us as we work on our prereading skills and have some fun with stories and a craft! We do the same thing each week on both Wednesday and Thursday, so pick the day that works best for you that week. No charge, and no registration required!
Every Tuesday and Wednesday (except school holidays.)
