Actors Economy Buster Training

October 10th at the home of Big Dawg Productions in The Cape Fear Playhouse at Newcastle located at 615 Castle Street in Wilmington NC seasoned actors and new talent alike will be able to get training in various areas of stage and camera work.

The economy buster training is a way to help you out without costing an arm and a leg. These two hour seminars would normally cost more. Instead these classes will run for a suggested donation of $10 per person. If you can contribute more, it is welcome because part of the proceeds will go back to Big Dawg. If you only have a few dollars to throw in the till, you will still be welcome.
