Austin Acts!
by City Theatre Company
Dec. 24 - Jan. 10, 2020
As 2020 comes to a close, The City Theatre Company proudly presents AUSTIN ACTS! A Virtual Stage Talent Competition. The original performance contest brings local actors together in an end-of-year online event that, in these challenging moments, keeps Austin arts in motion.
Judges have voted and the final eight performers announced! Competing since July, the contenders are set and now vying for the top prize - and the crown - in an end-of-year online production event. As we continue through wild and uncertain times, AUSTIN ACTS! is an exciting way in finding a safe, unique, and challenging performance opportunity for all local performers, and to bring those performances to the Austin community. From wherever they were - living room, office, outside patio, next room while roommates or babies were sleeping, over sixty competitors, ready to show off their acting chops, submitted an initial video acting performance. No cost to enter and anyone could participate, no matter your experience or talent level. Participants were then ranked by experienced judges, moved on to next levels, and now the finalists will present their three performances which got them to the top spot, including performances by playwrights Tom Stoppard, Edward Albee, Marsha Norman, Neil Simon, Terrence McNally, Anna Deveare Smith, Paula Vogel, and many more
AUSTIN ACTS! is conceived and directed by Artistic Director Andy Berkovsky, with production editing and design by Scot Friedman, publicity design by Jeremy White, and judges participating that represented numerous Austin theatre and film organizations. The top eight talented performers are Jill Klopp-Turner, Andrew C. Fisher, Meredith O’Brien, Zach Barrett, Bonnie Lambert, Moses Kutz, Jessica Brynn Cohen, and Austin Hanna.
