Premier of Crack for Actors…

At our second Gathering, David Strauss brought a script in development for us to read. Its working title was: Little Keepsakes. It's going to be read aloud at Natalie Fehéregyházi opening monthly Crack for Actors series, and by members of the Actors' Playground. 


This is a PWYC event.


Here's Natalie with the deets:

Hi again everyone!

Just a reminder that this coming Monday is the first installment of a new Open Stage at The One in the Only Coffee House called "Crack for Actors".  The title, which has proven to stir up mixed reactions, came out of the motive for the event.

Long ago, I came to the conclusion that the drive within an artist that propels him/her to work, is very similar to that which fuels an addict.  After much rational consideration of what I do, I decided that there is no practical reason to be an artist of any kind.

The difficulties that accompany it way outnumber the general payoffs. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the absolute rush and ecstasy I feel when I know I've done something that has connected to an audience member and made an impact.  The rush of that feeling is the highest high I can imagine and so, when thinking about the title for the show, I came up with Crack for Actors because the motive behind it was to give performers an opportunity to connect with an audience on a regular basis and get that fix that is only possible through live performance.

Anyway, that long-winded explanation aside.  This coming Monday at 8 pm will be the first Open stage.  We have a number of very talented performers who will be taking the stage to share monologues, scenes, sketches, new works and standup.  Whether you're an art enthusiast, performer yourself or just have time to kill Monday night, come check us out.  It's a great opportunity to meet new people, get connected and kick back with a tasty beer or coffee while we do what we do and attempt to entertain.  Also, if you're considering participating, it's a good opportunity to check it out before committing.

So, once again, this Monday, Feb 28 at 8 pm, Apuka Theatre's first Open Stage at The One in the Only Coffee Shop - 966 Danforth Ave just west of Donlands station.  I look forward to seeing you there!
