Tucson: Actors Workshop with Gay Gilbert POSTPONED to July 30

Subject: Actors Workshop with Gay Gilbert POSTPONED to July 30

This is a good news, bad news situation. The bad news is that Gay Gilbert
has to postpone her Actors Workshop for three weeks. The good news is that
actors have three more weeks to sign-up. Also, the reason she had to
postpone is that she has to go to L.A. for a meeting about one of three
feature films she will be producing and filming in Arizona. It's a super
opportunity for all of us to get in front of the producer and casting
director (Helen McCready) of a major film project.

There is more good news. Gay is now offering a $5 discount to IFASA members
and any groups of ten or more members. So, identify yourselves as IFASA
members or another group of ten when you enroll and the cost will be only
$50 for a terrific learning opportunity.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at president@aivftucson.org

Have fun,

"Twist of Faith" is the powerful story of Tony Comes, a firefighter from
Toledo, Ohio, who confronts the trauma of boyhood sexual abuse by a Catholic

his abuse entangle everyone with whom he shares an intimate bond: his wife,
children, extended family, friends and ultimately, his God. "Twist of Faith"
is the latest from critically-acclaimed director Kirby Dick ("Sick",
"Derrida") and longtime producer Eddie Schmidt.
