Screenwriters and Actors of Santa Fe

The Screenwriters and Actors of Santa Fe meets every Monday from 6 to 8:30 on Vimeo. It is a meet-up group of serious writers and actors started in 2017. The writers benefit from hearing their words read. The actors benefit from a weekly practice of cold reads.

We hear improvement in both sides of the table. This has turned into a child of the group Suzanne help start and hosted in California- The Screenwriters and Actors of Hollywood still going strong since 2013.

The meeting is open to anyone who is serious about improving their craft.

To get an invite, email Suzanne@SuzanneBirrell.com with Subject: SW&A
