This is a group primarily for writers and actors, and those that enjoy performance and discussion. I started this group because I feel too many "readings" are self serving in-crowds, catering to writers that already know each other and not enough to those that are passionate and skilled, yet unfortunately disconnected from writing communities due to the demands of work and life. Likewise for actors who are passionate to perform yet restricted by the more full time demands of a theater production …

Sure, writers join writer's groups, actors join actor's groups, directors take the credit, and producers . . . well, they produce, but has anyone thought to hold a recurring party where people who work in different aspects of film can mingle and get to know each other?
