SHOW & TELL

 

 

A workout space for NYC based multi-disciplinary artists seeking a supportive community to share their unfinished and messy creations. Show & Tell is open to all. We welcome plays, film/tv/web series, sketches, solo shows, storytelling, monologues, songs, and more.

FAIL BETTER

READING SERIES

SHOW & TELL

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

 

A reading series/developmental workshop for NYC writers and actors. All are welcome! We accept scripts for plays, film/tv/web series, sketches, solo shows, storytelling, monologues and more. Experiment with your "mess"-in-progress in our supportive space where you’re given room to fail...and grow.

​

What We Do

Each meeting we do cold readings, raw performances of 3 pieces (10-20ish pages/mins) followed by 15ish minutes of constructive feedback.

​

Who Can Submit

Writers: Fail Better is a safe space to hear your unfinished work read aloud.

Actors: Going crazy practicing that monologue in front of the mirror? Come practice in front of a live audience of fellow failees.

Storytellers and Stand-ups: Work on your piece for the next open mic in our developmental space.

​

Don't fit into any of these categories? Reach out to info@failbetter.nyc and tell us more about you and your piece. We'd love to support your art-making.
