This Meetup is for people who are interested in getting together to read Shakespeare's plays out loud. Each person will take one (or more!) parts and we will act them out. At each meetup, we'll take one of his plays (chosen at the previous meetup and announced on the Meetup's website), assign parts and run with it. Be funny, be dramatic, have fun!

Work For Actors will focus on different strategies actors can use to gain more work. We'll share information and learn how to gain more work in the industry. This will focus more on acting as a business, rather than the actual craft of acting, however acting techniques are also welcome for discussion.

Melinda Hall leads acting classes, workshops and cold readings for Actors and Writers to improve their craft. Ongoing classes will focus on Shakespeare, Classical and Contemporary Monologues, Audition Techniques, Acting For Film, Cold Reading, Collaborating with Writers and more.

They call this Democracy? Congress doesn't have the faintest idea what they are voting for! They impose laws on you and me without even reading the bills. They hand out your tax dollars countless special interests. They hand out special privileges to anyone with a good lobbyist or a fat campaign contribution.
