Acting : Readings by Zoelle Rose

Zoelle Rose

Readings

Are any of you actors interested in meeting up to do readings of film scripts or plays? Just to keep in practice. I'd really like to find a group and do this once a week or bi-weekly. What do you think?

Woodrow Wilkins

Sounds good to me. Please keep me in the loop.

Zoelle Rose

HI Woodrow, thank you so much for your response. You are the first to answer! I will definitely inform you when it looks like there's a group, but until then wonder if you would also be interested in working on 2-person scenes? I have a stockpile of them from a class I took. Or if you have something you want to work on....?

Karen "Kay" Ross

That's a fantastic idea! Reader's theatre is a such a great way to keep in practice as an actor. Would you comment on this post with updates one when you host it and what scripts you're thinking to read?

Zoelle Rose

Thank you for your response! Yes, I will post here...I would like to see if a few more people express an interest before I schedule a read.

Demetris Clements

Yes, thats a great idea, and I would love to be apart.

Chaunsy Ryan White

been looking for something like this for a while!!

Zoelle Rose

Thank you so much for your responses! I think we can get started with a group this size, if we double up on roles, so on tho the next step. I'll post again soon.

Frank Shank

sounds pretty cool! lemme know i have 100 scripts to add to the pile if needed

Zoelle Rose

I'd like to establish a general time for the reads - how would you all feel about Sunday, around noon?

Zoelle Rose

That's noon EST.

Zoelle Rose

Frank, thank you for suggesting your scripts: Original material is a great idea and would definitely be welcome. We could start off with one of yours.

Frank Shank

I'd love to but will be at work that time as anytime after 2pm I'm available for sure. Yeah let me know what we need to do or who I gotta get the script to for reads etc. Shoot me a message here or pm me. Thanks and very excited! Take care and talk soon

Marci Urling

I would like to. Bi-weekly would be great!

Chaunsy Ryan White

sundays are perfect for me, and i am a actor.

Zoelle Rose

Thank you all for responding! How would 2 pm EST Sunday be for all of you? And plan on starting March 13th?

Zoelle Rose

Any further feedback about starting this?

Frank Shank

So how do I get the script to ppl to read for the sitting? I have pdf file ready just lemme know how I can get it to everyone etc and I'm down.

Angela Cristantello

ALWAYS!

Frank Shank

just let me know what time maybe this saturday after 4 and i will be available...and how to send it to people and who is getting what etc I will do it and am ready..thanks

Dr Samita Nandy

Count me in!

Chaunsy Ryan White

and if we arent doing original scripts etc , i don know website Scriptslugs have bunch of scripts aswell

Zoelle Rose

Thank you all for the comments...sorry I didn't see them until today. I would like to find out what kind of scripts you all all interested in doing. It might be better to use publicly accessible scripts for the first read, and once we meet we can exchange emails to communicate further. Scriptslugs is a great resource. What are your suggestions? Let's set this up for March 27th to give everyone a chance to answer. Are you all available that day? Around 2 pm east coast time?

Frank Shank

I am not until 4pm central time

Zoelle Rose

Another resource for scripts is https://scriptpdf.com/ Frank I can''t start the reads that late - I'm in Germany; so 4pm for you is 11 pm for me. Is there any way for you to meet earlier?

Frank Shank

Um I can try but work till 3. U guys do it n lemme know how it went. Don't let me hold anyone back. Good luck and take care

Chaunsy Ryan White

im off on sundays so im free anytime on that day , Im going to search for scripts with good amount of characters as i can

Zoelle Rose

Thank you Chaunsy! I'll start to choose scripts once I find out where everyone's interests converge. In the meantime I really appreciate the input! I regularly read scripts from the scriptpdf site, and have found many I would love to share with the group.

Zoelle Rose

I've deliberated endlessly on different scripts to try for the first read and have decided finally on the Suits pilot episode. http://jordanl3.sg-host.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Suits_1x01_-_Pilo.... I'm assuming you are all familiar with the show. The main characters for this episode are: Mike, Trevor, Jenny, Grammy, Harvey, Louis, Katherine, Gerald, Donna, Rachel, Phillip. Please choose which character(s) you are interested in playing. I will set up a zoom meeting for 1pm East Coast time this Sunday March 27th and post the info here on Saturday. Let's get this started!

Zoelle Rose

Wow, fantastic idea. Hello from the Philippines.

Zoelle Rose

We just wrapped up the first session, and I want to thank Chaunsy, Sandeep and Stephen for participating - you were all wonderful to work with! It was great fun and a great way to exercise our craft. And the start of a great group! The next session is planned for April 24th at 1pm. Please feel free to post your suggestions!

Sandeep Gupta

Zoelle Rose Chaunsy Ryan White @StephenFolker, THANK YOU! This was the perfect start of the group, and I have to say Zoelle picked a great script with plenty of lessons. People who missed out, next one in a month.

Chaunsy Ryan White

Really enjoyed getting back into table reads again . Want to thank Zoelle for the idea , and the invitation. And Sandeep, and Stephen also for great co-readers. Hope this is a start of many more learning experiences!

Sandeep Gupta

Zoelle Rose , you should choose a similar one, your experience showed. Using Works In Progress is very good for writers as was reading a sold script. I was very surprised at the totally.different nature of insights. At the same time, @StephenFolker has a full script too.

Zoelle Rose

Thank you Sandeep, I'll keep that in mind!

Annishia Lunette

Sandeep Gupta

Great reading room again @Zoelle, Thank you ! I enjoyed the discussion on the script and zeitgeist just as much. I wonder when they do procedurals they don't give them all the acts or even scenes all at once.

Zoelle Rose

Thank you for a great read and discussion! It's true, mostly they just get their own parts; probably for efficiency of production and also privacy. Open to discussion! Post your ideas....

Sandeep Gupta

You are welcome, thank you. Yeah, that would make it easier for them to act curious and open. I did watch the episode, after.

Rasmus Branders

I would be interested, always good to stay in motion.

Zoelle Rose

​Time for the next read! This Sunday June 19 at 1pm EDT, the script on the table will be A few Good Men, available here https://www.scriptslug.com/ass...

It's pretty long, maybe we'll do it in two sessions, let's see how it goes. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Best, Zoelle​

Zoelle Rose

Thanks so much for a great read tonight! This is one of the greatest scripts with really challenging monologues and dialogues, wonderful humor and characters...great for practicing our skills. We're halfway through, to be continued in two weeks: same time same channel....

Sandeep Gupta

Thank you for the excellent stage management Zoelle. Thanks Chaunsy, multistarring with Jessep! No small feat!

GiGi Raines

Hey Zoelle Love this idea.

Zoelle Rose

Hi all, we will finish reading A Few Good Men this Sunday July 3rd at 1pm EDT....I'll post the zoom link Saturday....looking forward to seeing you all there!

Zoelle Rose

Huge apology to those of you who had wanted to participate in the read this Sunday. I had an extended day at work and lost track of time and day and everything, including this. It's been a very hectic week and I'm a bit stressed. Not an excuse but nevertheless, it is the reason. I am thinking to schedule this second half of A Few Good Men next Sunday and hope you will all forgive me and let's do this famous court scene....

Antonio Olivito

Hi Zoelle! I would love to be a part of future meet-ups. Great idea!

Shellie Schmals

Hi Zoelle - I absolutely love this idea!! Stage 32 has an option where you can create a Group >> https://www.stage32.com/meetups >> It's super easy to start one and it might be easier to keep track of everyone who is interested in participating. Let me know if you need help!

Chaunsy Ryan White

Hey Zoelle ill see if i can set up the group right now , thanks Shellie for that info!

Zoelle Rose

Table read this Sunday July 10th 1PM EDT...second half of A few Good Men...the famous court scene! Contact me for details....

Zoelle Rose

Table read Sunday July 10 1 PM EDT.
