SATURDAY NIGHT ACTORS LAB IS BACK!!! July 4, 2026
CALLING ALL ACTORS!
Step into the spotlight with The Elgin Theatre Guild at our Saturday Night Actor’s Lab – an evening dedicated to scene study, creativity, and connection in a welcoming, supportive environment!
Date: Saturday, July 4, 2026
Location: 40 Princess Avenue, St. Thomas, ON
Pre-Register at 6:30 PM | Start Time: 7:00 PM
No Cost – Just Bring Your Passion!
Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting your journey, this is your chance to explore characters, deepen your craft, and collaborate with like-minded artists.
Program Overview
The Saturday Night Actors Lab will take place once a month, running from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM, followed
by an optional social gathering at our local partner, From The Vines.
How It Works:
1. Registration: Upon arrival, actors register and select a scene from a curated selection of short pieces
(no more than five minutes each).
2. Partner Selection: Actors will pair up—either by choice or at random—and be given 30 minutes to
rehearse their chosen scene. This preparation period is for discussing interpretation, blocking, and
performance style.
3. Performance: After rehearsal, scenes will be presented to the group. Performances will be drawn at
random to ensure a relaxed, spontaneous atmosphere.
4. Director Observation: Local directors will be invited to watch, providing them with the opportunity to
see actors perform without the formal structure of an audition.
Just bring yourself – and get ready to play.
