Creator’s Corner: Make Your Sh*t with ACTRA Toronto on Friday, March 27, 2026, will include a producer panel featuring: Karen Knox (Slo Pitch, We Forgot to Break Up), Madelaine Rose (Doomsday Daughters, Parent Teacher), Kris Siddiqi (Bit Playas) and Andrew Butcher (Going Again Podcast, Rouge & Goo) with moderator Asante Tracey (The Bulldog Effect, The Girl with the Rose Coloured Glasses).
Register now! Swing by the ACTRA Toronto office for the panel at 1 p.m. ET and stick around for the mixer where you can hob-knob with fellow creators, discover common interests, trade skills and contact info, and (hopefully) walk away (preferably to the pub) with a project ready to go and the means to do it!
Who should come? All members who find making their own stuff inspiring, rewarding, but also challenging and daunting! With Creators’ Corner, you need NEVER be out of work.
Light refreshments will be served and name tags will be provided. Creative atmosphere nurtured!
We recognize the popularity of the Creators’ Corner panel and mixer and will be working to organize an online event in April. To accommodate more member access, we will look to expand into larger venues down the road. If you missed the opportunity to sign up, please add yourself to the wait list below should a spot open up.
