In the tradition of the Group Theatre and the Actors Studio, The Space, is currently expanding. The Space is not an acting class. Rather, it is a safe, studio environment where actors can work on their craft and themselves. The Space exists for the benefit of the group of actors that maintain it, all the while providing each individual with the time, the comfort, and the opportunity to challenge themselves, make choices and take risks. It is a place where you can come together as a group of actors, share your talent in a non-judgmental environment and support each other and grow, not only as actors but also as people. Please send headshots & resumes by September 30th to:
