NEW YORK—Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU), in association with Weist Barron Studios and Paula J. Riley will present an Actors Resource Night (and “Speed Dating”) on Monday, January 19 at 7pm at Weist Barron Studios, 35 W. 45th Street, 6th floor, NYC. Actors will have the chance to meet an agent, a life coach, 2 business coaches, a solo performance coach, a vocal coach, a commercial coach, a website designer, a headshot photographer—10 resources in all, with three minutes to meet each before the bell rings and they have to move on.
“It’s a good way to get inspired to put those New Year’s Resolutions
into action. Actors can meet resources and find out ways to better
navigate the business in 2009,” says TRU Actor Program Director Paula
J. Riley. “And no, it’s not really a date, just a cute way to meet some
really helpful people.” No performing is required. “Speed Dating” is a chance for actors to introduce themselves to the 10 sponsoring hosts including Robert Blume, producer of the Drama Desk Awards and owner of an artists’ management company and agency; as well as Gretchen Cryer, writer/performer of the legendary show I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It in the Road who wants to help actors get their own solo acts together. Other “dates” include coach & host Valerie Adami of Weist Barron, business coaches Jodie Bentley & Kevin Urban of The Savvy Actor, life coach Penelope Brackett of The Creative Seed, Bobby Holder of The Actor’s Project NYC, Paul J. Michael of The Network, vocal coach Sally Morgan, creator of the Morganix Method, web designer Natalie Neckyfarow of Creative City Design and headshot photographer Lee Anne Simms. Actors don’t even have to sign up for “Speed Dating” to attend, network and enjoy the wine and refreshments. Sign-in starts at 7:00pm and the first “Speed Date” cycle is at 7:15. Admission is free for members of TRU; $10 for non-members. To reserve a space or to become a member of TRU, please call 212-714-7628 or e-mail – RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.
