New York City
The 14th Annual Actors’ Scene Showcase consists of ten 5-8 minute two-actor scenes chosen by a panel of local theatre directors. Thirty-five scenes competed for the ten spots in the Showcase, which features twenty local actors performing for an invited audience of agents, casting directors and other theatre professionals, as well as for the general public. Originally modeled after showcases in New York and Los Angeles, the Actors’ Scene Showcase has been a great success for the Women’s Theatre Alliance and its participants for over a decade, serving as a springboard for many acting careers.
