Ever dreamed of being a star of screen or stage? Now is the chance to learn just how to make that dream a reality from a seasoned professional.

鈥楽ons of Anarchy鈥� star Kim Coates will be in 91大黄鸭 at BNA Brewing on May 15 for Born to Act Studios鈥� open house, to talk all things television, film and Broadway.

Coates, who played Tig in 鈥楽ons鈥�, has made a name for himself over five different decades in the industry. Some of his other more prominent roles include the lead role of Macbeth at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, a recurring role in Prison Break, and as a hockey coach in the Canadian comedy Goon, for which he was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award.

Born to Act Studios Director Carly Fawcett will be chatting with Coates about how to make a career out of your passion.

鈥淲e want to demystify the whole 鈥榠ndustry鈥� stigma and let young and aspiring actors know that it is possible to have a career as an actor, whether that鈥檚 in theatre and/or film and television,鈥� said Fawcett. 鈥淲e have a film industry in 91大黄鸭 now, and it is only going to grow. Kim is very excited about talking to the community, as he loves this thing like any nerd of the craft does.鈥�

A pair of scholarships to Born to Act Studios will be given out at the event; one for an actor just starting out, and one for a BIPOC actor.

Fawcett added that the event will also work as a great networking opportunity for attendees, whether they are filmmakers, actors, agents or producers.

Tickets to the event are now on sale and can be found
