Bring Your Questions: Join Us for the FREE Stage 32 Community Open House

Wednesday, September 23rd at 12:00pm PT

You have questions. You're curious about how to actually make the most of your time on Stage 32, how to use the resources here successfully, how to build genuine relationships that lead somewhere meaningful, and how to move forward with real intention. How to find the right collaborators, producers, financiers, reps, distributors, etc.

That's exactly what this FREE event is designed for.

Our Community Open House is a live, fully interactive conversation hosted by me, Ashley Smith, Head of Community here at Stage 32. It's a genuine gathering where you get to show up, share what you're working on, ask the questions that have been on your mind, and get direct guidance tailored to where you actually are in your journey.

Whether you've attended one before or this is your first, the conversation is different every single time. It's shaped by the members who take the time to join, be present, and bring their real questions to the table. Your voice, your goals, and your curiosity make each Open House uniquely valuable.

Free Registration: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-september-2026-community-open-house-webcast

We'll cover the tools and features on Stage 32 that most consistently create momentum for members, and we'll talk about what's happening on the platform that you don't want to miss out on. September lands us in a genuinely exciting stretch of the year. We're coming off Venice and Toronto International, in the middle of New York Film Festival, heading into Austin Film Festival, and gearing up for our annual November Write Club campaign. There's real opportunity to position yourself for what's ahead, and we'll talk about how to do exactly that.

We'll close with a live Q&A focused entirely on you, your questions, your projects, and your next steps. And if you can't join us live, don't worry! Registering guarantees you the full recording so you can watch it anytime, from anywhere.

Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let's have a real conversation.

By Any Means Necessary

Sometimes we should not support movies and the stars that promote them.

Preparing Your Monologue for On-Camera Auditions

Start with the right material. Choose a monologue that runs one to two minutes and comes from a piece where your character is actively trying to change, persuade, or influence someone, not simply narrate a story. Read the full script if available, so you understand the world, the relationship you're...

Mishaps on Stage/Set

Hi actors, I thought it was time for some fun. Recently, I was listening to a podcast of a live radio show and they were talking about times when things went awry. A bit that went south. It got me thinking of the time in the middle of the 3rd act of NOISES OFF, the stage went dark, because the light...

First of all...absolutely love NOISES OFF! The movie version had me in absolute stitches (probably helped watching it with a bunch of theater kids such as myself). And the fact that the cast (made up...

That reminds me Doug Kayne of when I was working on HAND OF GOD - I think that's what it's called, the Amazon show with Ron Perlman. We were shooting in a warehouse in downtown LA- and FAST & FURIOUS...

That’s pretty funny, Suzanne Bronson. I wonder if, on the amusing flip side, the Fast and Furious crew thought your movie was inconveniencing them.

Suzanne Bronson

I don't think they knew we were there Doug Kayne

Do you know " https://projectcasting.com ? what do you think about it ?

I’m going to Los Angeles in September and am looking for a site that lists casting calls for non-union actors. I found this one; do you think it’s trustworthy enough to pay for access?

Maurice Vaughan

Hope you have a great trip and time and book roles, @Delphine!

Donn Ovshak

Be Very careful! First make sure your bank account is full and you have a back up for cash for escape. Expensive, and there are a lot of money grabs out there they will say " Oh you got what it takes,...

Just noticed you're in Paris. Okay, well, if you'd like some in side info before you go, feel free to contact me. I no longer live in LA, I am in Oklahoma City, happily married,I have no bad intentions and you don't need a subscription to contact me. : ).

Delphine Herrmann

Thank you very much everyone; this is really helpful. It’s very supportive to have your advice and not feel like I’m heading into the unknown. All the best to you.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, @Delphine. Looking forward to hearing about your trip and time in Los Angeles!

Interesting concept

I came across this video and wondered if anyone has tried or heard of targeting before. It sounds like an interesting strategy:

From Stage to Screen

Hello fellow actors!

What advice do you have for someone who has spent the majority of their time doing theater and is seeking to transition to film/television?

There is the need to adjust your performance to scale for the camera and update your reel. I would love to hear from actors who have success...

Dear actor, keep going

Dear actor dream bigger, keep creating. The world is watching and waiting.

Doug Kayne

Hundred percent. Don't give up!

Maurice Vaughan

Hey, Yunus Quddus. I'm not an actor, but that goes for writers, directors, and others too. Thanks.

Doug Kayne
Anything you can do, I can do...uh...also

I'm sure we've all done it.

We're watching a movie or TV show, seeing an established actor who is right for the part playing a role, and we think to ourselves, "I could totally play that!" Not necessarily better, but definitely within your wheelhouse. And you know you would absolutely kill it, too!

AI is moving fast — faster than most of us can keep up with — and if you're working in film or television right now, you're already navigating questions your contracts probably didn't cover a few years ago. When does a digital replica require consent? What are producers responsible for documenting?...
