❤️ Thank you one and all. Have a gorgeous weekend.

A little Monday kickstarter.

Congratulations Shaughnessy. You're a gem.

"Aaron has created an incredibly safe and supportive training ground for actors to growand challenge themselves. His teaching methods are uplifting, thoughtful, and catered to the needs of each individual.

It’s amazing to watch myself and others blossom through his guidance.The skills that I learn in the classroom have provided immeasurable value and depth to my craftboth onstage and on-screen.

It is evident that Aaron cares deeply about his community and keeping the arts alive in Vancouver. I was introduced to The Working Actors Gym through the honour of receiving the Trevor CravenMemorial Scholarship for Young Actors, and I am excited to continue my training with Aaron for years to come."

-Shaughnessy O’Brien

Emerging actors, get on this! Those of us who serve on the principal performers committee and the board at UBCP/ACTRA have worked hard to make this happen and get performers in the real room. Put your name forward if you're a full or apprentice member. Break legs!

***

• UBCP/ACTRA UBCP/ACTRA is offering Full and Apprentice Members the opportunity to participate in a mock audition with a Casting Director they have not previously auditioned for in person.

Since the pandemic and the widespread shift to self-tape auditions, many newer members have never had the opportunity to audition in person. That’s why we’re offering this opportunity to help members who joined after March 2020 gain valuable experience auditioning in the room.

Please be aware that all of the Casting Directors have generously donated their time to help make this workshop possible.

Please note: If you are not eligible or selected for this workshop, we will arrange future opportunities.

Please check the link in our profile.

RIP to a Mitch and Murray alumus and a beautiful man, John R Taylor. He's pictured here in our 2016 production of DETROIT.

If you hung around the Vancouver film and theatre scenes long enough, you likely knew him. He was as supportive a colleague as one could hope for and an eloquent and charming gent. We'll miss you, John.
