As I was roaming around the streets, my shoulders brushing up against the horde in a dark and gloomy day, I decided to take the plunge and take up an activity that was far beyond my reasoning, far beyond my wildest dreams. The idea of taking on something that...

It's opening night for what has been the greatest play I've ever been a part of.

Dramatic Acting Jams in LA?

I know there are a number of improv jams in LA, which are super cheap, anyone can show up, and improv a comedic scene. Does the same thing exist for dramatic scenes? And not necessarily improv - just a cheap place where actors come together and work on scenes?
