My name is Ivy and about a month ago I started Bad Actors Drinking Club as a way to stay connected and do something different once a week during quarantine. The concept is:
1) once a week I select and cast parts from the actors pool for a one act play no more than 30 minutes.
2) No prior acting experience necessary and you can read straight from the script.
3) We post a zoom link on Bad Actors Drinking Club.
8:30pm Pre Show Drinks
9:00pm Show
Right now we have 171 members. Afterward some of us stay on to just hang out and chat.
I love the way it has evolved and that it gives me and some of the regulars something to look forward to. Some of the participants “actors” live out of town. Not everyone knows everyone. All of the actors, most including myself never participated in theatre or drama while some still do it professionally.
Thursday is also the day we do a brief run thru. Every show we have learned something new. Covid has pushed a lot of people to get more techs then they ever had to.
Attached are some photos from the first Thursday rehearsal and me the next day dressed in as best I could ..1920’s costuming for my part. Tonight we are going to try to record the show.
