IN MY SHOES STORIES: The Creative Actor Retreat Edition

  • Red Light Cafe 553-1 Amsterdam Avenue Northeast Atlanta, GA, 30306 United States (map)

We are everyday men and women. We struggle. We survive. We find hope amidst chaos. We piece words together. With all the negative stereotype images and talk, we all need something different.

In My Shoes is a storytelling event produced by Cathy Reinking that cuts through the day to day defenses and facades, to get to the soul of the human being inside. By giving you a glimpse of the world In My Shoes, we discover how close and connected we truly are. Join us in a heartfelt, joyous evening of diverse voices and ages.

THIS VERY SPECIAL EDITION is showcasing the participants of the Inaugural Creative Actor Retreat.

The Creative Actor Retreat was designed to bring performers together from all over the world as well as local talent. The retreat is made up of 3 full days in Atlanta where performers not familiar with Atlanta can explore the city, as well as panels and special guests who will be speaking to all the performers on subjects important to working actors.

The retreat is also where the show you will be experiencing on October 14th, at the RED LIGHT CAFE, will be conceived. It’s a group collaboration unlike any of the previous In My Shoes Stories Events. Come support these enthusiastic and gifted performers. Come reveal how great the Atlanta artistic community really is!

“As the latest session of In my Shoes was winding down, I was overwhelmed with how much I had enjoyed this latest experience. The stories, the not-your-Mother’s poetry, the live music, the comedy and assortment of wonderfully open and delightful performers and audience filled my soul. There is no other way to describe it….over the course of a few hours I laughed, cried, empathized, related and digested a veritable feast for my soul.” – Virginia Kirby, Peachtree City, GA
