New scene study class
starting in March. 

Meeting Thursdays at Two Roads Theatre in Studio City from 2-5 p.m.  Jennifer Lambertus will be teaching.  Jennifer received her degree in theatre from the University of Northern Colorado with a triple emphasis, in directing, acting and teaching.  She further trained at Playhouse West under Robert Carnegie, both as an actor and as a teacher.  She taught there for a few a years before breaking off on her own.  She privately coaches actors, some of whom have been seen in 7th Heaven, Cold Case, Smallville, Bratz, Private Practice and others.

Class will consist of scene study with a Meisner base.  We will meet once a week, you will work in every class and be expected to rehearse between classes with your classmates based on your own schedules.  The cost is $100 a month.  Contact Jennifer with any questions and if you are interested in signing up at 310-770-3961 or .

 

What is Deadline Junkies?
Deadline Junkies
is a group of professional screenwriters. We meet once a week to exchange feedback on new, cool, commercially viable screenplays.

 
How does it work?
Each week 3 writers bring 25-30 pages. Professional actors read the material onstage. After each read, we conduct a 15 minute discussion on the material.
 
What genres do you cover?
Action comedy, romantic comedy, dark comedy, horror comedy -- basically anything with the word "comedy." We do some sci-fi stuff too and even occasionally a killer sci-fi comedy.
 
Where do you meet?
Open Stage West (Annex)
- directions
14336 Ventura Blvd
Sherman Oaks CA 91423
 

When?
Every Tuesday from 7:15PM - 10:00PM.

 
How much does it cost?
Actors and auditors pay nothing. Members pay $25 a month. Dues cover the cost of our nice, clean, air conditioned, 46-seat theater.
 
How many members?
12-15
active writers. 80+ actors, auditors, producers, directors and other important friends of the group.
 
How often will my work be read?
Members can expect to present new work every 4-5 weeks.

Who runs this thing?
No one famous. Two longtime screenwriting friends -- Adam Strange and Craig Sabin

 
What's the parking like? Does it really suck?
Not at all. We have a parking garage below the theater and plenty of street parking. Meters run until 8:00PM.
 
I'm super busy. Do I have to come every week?
No. But if you want your stuff read, you have to come. Active writers with pathetic attendance get taken off the schedule with relative ease. If we are going to make a commitment to your project, we want your commitment to ours. Sound reasonable?
 
I'm a beginner. Is there a chance in hell I'll get in?
It's not likely. We have quite a few beginners who come to learn, but we usually don't put their work in front of the group. While we strongly respect anyone with the guts to tell a story, all our members are way past those wet nose days. Come if you need the inspiration. But if you're still working out the basics, this is not the group for you.
