How We Started

About

How We Started

For just about everyone in America, Spring of 2020 was a very strange time. "Going to work" was either impossible, or it meant rolling out of bed, grabbing a cup of coffee and logging onto your computer; that is, for people who COULD work from home. For "Gig Workers", like actors and performers, uncertainty was the only constant. There were no productions to audition for, no commercials or corporate videos to act in, no TV shows, films or web series to report to set for.

 

Seeking to fill at least a little bit of the gap created by this new normal, Philadelphia-based actor and instructor, Rich Henkels organized an initial Zoom call on April 22 with talent he'd either worked with or taught over the last few years. That first call has blossomed into a weekly information forum the likes of which most members have never before experienced.

 

Rich's initial objective was to establish a safe and inviting place for actors to get together, talk about the industry and share ideas about how we can make this time productive, and continue to educate ourselves and grow as actors/performers.
