Naked Angels' Tuesdays @9
Oh, I'm certainly going to be a regular at this event. Naked Angels started this wonderful project in New York and this was their second week of trying it out in Los Angeles. Tuesdays @9 is really wonderful. Actors show up between 8pm and 8:30pm at St. Nick's Pub on 3rd and check in. Writers whose works have been approved for the night hand out copies of the work to the actors and at 9pm, the fun begins. Every genre, every type of project (at every stage of development) is showcased here, always in a cold read state (no advance copies... ever). Even songs that singer-songwriters have in-progress are previewed. Feedback is always a big part of the schmoozefest after the readings. Really wonderful program!
On this night, I went with Keith Johnson, who was immediately tapped to read a role in The Decoy by Tony Lepore. He got to read with favorite people Subhash Mandal and Blake Robbins.
Execs from Fox were in attendance, and they really loved the work by Matt Borick (Dirtbags, absolutely brilliant comedic work). A wonderful character actor named Larry was there (wish I'd gotten his last name) and the musical act (Sara--again, I didn't get the last name) was comedically divine. Eager to see and hear her work again.
The night is run by Kimberly Mercado and Jennifer DiMartino (both very talented and warm).
To submit material, show up to one of the events with two copies of ten pages max of a script (five pages double-spaced if a novel, short story, or one-person show). If you're a musician (especially with musical theatre emphasis) show up with a CD demo for Shark, who runs that part of the program.
We will most definitely be back for more of this wonderful event. Well done!
