In April 2007 Creative Actors performed in their annual SHOWCASE

It was a great success
34 of our actors performed 17, 3 to 4 minute scenes with two actors in each scene. In Los Angeles this has been an annual event for over twenty-five years and is now continuing here in Missouri.
Due to the fact that the Creative Actors Workshop has such a great reputation for producing quality actors, our industry invitation only show, had over 40 professional and industry related businesses attending.
Below is a partial list of these professionals.
Steven Nash - Los Angeles Film Producer, Talent Manager, President of the Talent Managers Association and Owner of Arts and Letters Management based in LA. Steven manages Marshall Allman who plays LJ on Prison Break plus many others.
Steven was impressed with the caliber of our actors and offered many of them an interview for possible management, if they came to LA.
Talent Plus - Saint Louis Exposure Inc. Model &Talent Agency - Kansas City
Plus many more!

At our wine and appetizer reception, our guess mingled with our actors. Many actors received offers of representation and where approached to audition for local projects.
Our guest exclaimed: “Very entertaining” “Great show, great food, great company” “Creative Actors showcases are always a class act” “We can’t wait for next year”
