Working the Scene in Rainbow
Working the Scene in Rainbow is a live virtual scene-reading session, featuring works by 2SLGBTQIA+ Ontario-based scriptwriters.
Working the Scene in Rainbow (WTSR) is a place for 2SLGBTQIA+ writers to hear their work read aloud by 2SLGBTQIA+ ACTRA performers. It’s also an opportunity to network with an audience of industry professionals. Performers will be cast from within the ACTRA Toronto membership. The event is open to industry partners, friends, and all ACTRA members in good standing.
Working the Scene in Rainbow builds on the work of writer/artists Jessica Meya and Louis Taylor, and their original project Working the Scene in Colour. Thank you to Louis, Jessica, and to the Diversity and Inclusion Committee for sharing the Working the Scene in Colour template and their valuable work and time with us. WTSR was originally launched by Em Siobhan McCourt and Cory Bertrand.
If you are an Industry Partner (producer, director, casting director, literary agent, etc.), Working the Scene in Rainbow is a great opportunity to discover the ACTRA Toronto actor you need for your next project.
