It's time to mix again!  We had a great time last month, so there is no reason that things should be any different this month.  Some of our friends will be coming off of some productions both in film and on stage, and it would be great to hear about their experiences. If you've missed out on auditions or didn't get all the talent you were seeking, the mixers are great places to connect with talent both in front and behind the camera. Please come share your projects with us at Samba.  Our hosts…See More
