Want to be on stage?!


Join us!

We are looking for new women to portray truthful characters in a professional production. Work alongside industry professionals in a supportive, nurturing and empowering environment. (This is going to be a totally unique, cutting-edge production). Proceeds will go to organizations that work to empower women through the arts.


Want to be on stage?? Come to this meeting.

September 11th at 6pm
(Contact me for the address: andreabertola@gmail.com)

Have fun, be creative, be empowered 
and meet cool women willing to take a risk!
Looking for a diverse group of women.
(All ages, ethnicities, and types are requested)


Bonus!
No acting experience necessary, we’re looking for real women willing to test their limits in evoking truthful emotions for a dynamic, professional performance.



The Vagina Monologues at the Triad Theater



Did you see our production of The Vagina Monologues and think to yourself, "I would love to be involved in a project like that!"

Well, here is your chance! 









 


HERE'S THE 411

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE NEXT SHOW...
Do you have a song that you always wanted to perform? Is there a monologue that you've been itching to show an audience? What about a fabulous group number that would just be SO fun to be apart of?  We're going to put together a charity/benefit review of our favorite songs/ scenes/ monologues. I'm excited to help you explore pieces that empower you! This will be a professional production, like The Vagina Monologues. I'm not interested in directing a glorified "talent show"!!! We will explore all scenes/songs/characters with intensity and integrity.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE CHARITY...
We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving in an enriching environment. Therefor we have organized theatrical events to give everyday women a creative outlet. In-turn their performances increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of local organizations that empower women & girls. Have fun making awesome theatre while giving back to the community? Sounds like a win-win to us!

TELL ME MORE ABOUT REHEARSALS....
Rehearsals will begin Mid-September and the performance will be the beginning of December.
  • Group rehearsals will take place pretty much every Sunday from 6-9pm. 
  • You will also be expected to meet with me for 1 hour per week to work on solo pieces (scheduled at your convenience).  
  • THREE Dress rehearsals are mandatory and will be scheduled for the 3 consecutive days prior to the performance.
If your time limitations don’t meet our needs, we will find an alternative way for you to be involved in the production.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE....
The Triad Theater
We are aiming to schedule 3 performances at the Triad Theater during the week of December 5th - 11th. The Triad has been the original home to 3 of the 20 longest running Off-Broadway shows.








I WANT TO BE INVOLVED! WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
1) Make sure you can make the time commitment. See above.
2) Contact me, to let me know that you are interested. We will only take 20 women, max.
3) Plan on attending the 1st meeting on September 11 at 6pm. I will contact you with the address.
4) Think about songs/scenes you would like to perform. They can be from movies, plays, musicals, karaoke, pop music, poems, Frank Sinatra, spoken word, Dr. Seuss, etc. The only rule? You MUST be passionate about the piece and it must be a piece that relates to women!


Contact me ( andreabertola@gmail.com) to get involved.  
Remember, we are only accepting twenty (20) women. 

First come, first served.


Are you excited!?!?

viBenefit 2010 at the Juliet Supper Club

Juliet Supper Club
I was on the committee last year and it was a ton of fun (and a huge success). I'd like to take this moment to tell you about it. On October 19th, 2010 viBe Theater Experience held its third annual fund-raising event, viBenefit 2010.

viBenefit 2010 attracted nearly 150 guests to NYC’s hot-spot Juliet Supper Club. Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails by Bacardi Rum, Tequila Cazadores, 42 Below Vodka, wine furnished by New Age Imports and gourmet hors d’oeuvres by Jumeirah Essex House.

Thanks you, Jumeirah Essex House!
The crowd swayed to the music of DJ RiMix and swooned over the stellar silent auction items and raffle prizes donated by an A-List roster of generous donors. The event featured an interactive photo-booth by Emily Wilson Photography and was capped off by an inspiring performance from the viBeSongMakers and viBeAlum.


Dave Price from the CBS Early show with viBe!
 viBenefit 2010 raised over $11,000 and 100% of the proceeds donated went to viBe Theater Experience. viBenefit garnered media coverage on outlets such as the Early Show on CBS, Thrillist and Going.com.
