Need Two Actresses For Development Process
by Tim Collingwood 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

I am grateful for all who reached out to me at the last posting. I've had a couple of actors drop due to their other commitments, and I am in need of actors to help myself and my director work out the kinks of my play "Tell The Brethren." Our next creative session is this Saturday, January 13, 2024 from 10am to 1pm. Please reach out to me here so we can connect and I can send you the updated script. This opportunity, while unpaid, will hopefully lead to a future production, and this play got quite a following in January 2019 when it was last workshopped. Please help a fruitful collaborative process continue to breathe as we breathe new life into a lively script.
