Admission: BY DONATION
At the CRS, we cast brand new scripts on the spot, then watch them fly in front of a live audience. The CRS is the place for Vancouver's artists to meet one another, share their work, and create more. Every live reading ends with a party in the Gallery where you can meet up with other artists over a cold beer.
Actors need to make quick, strong choices and commit to the story. You don't have to submit your headshot and resume around here, just come on down. Casting starts at 7:30 pm. If it's your first time, come say hello, grab a beer, and watch the readings. You'll get an idea of how we work.
For its 16th season, the CRS is moving to a once a month schedule with a special event or two thrown into the mix. For more information on the 2009 CRS please visit www.evolvingartscollective.com and click on the shows & events link.
