January Cometh

The month associated with the most promise and opportunity has come once again. January opens new doors, and challenges us to grow towards better versions of ourselves. It stares you down at the gym, and it beckons you into “Dry January” after a month (or more) of liquid frivolity. January has cometh.

This month I am excited to bring to the Old Town Playhouse a Los Angeles acting treat: the Sandbox. The Sandbox is an event, a community, and a charge to get together with like minded actors and stretch your acting skills with scenes and monologues performed in front of your peers. It’s a chance to workshop scenes you love, scenes which are new to you, and scenes that you or others have written and want to see put up to a performance. It is a takeaway from Hollywood that everyone can get in on, and one that helps create strong artist communities. Oh, and it’s a lot of fun!

We’re trying this out on a monthly basis for three months to see how it goes and how the community responds. In an ideal world, this is a bi-weekly event with a fairly consistent group of folks who grow together over time, and who love to play and try new things.

Since it’s January, it’s the perfect time to challenge yourself and try something new. Come join us in the Sandbox! For more details visit The Old Town Playhouse website.
