ACT OUT Night

Calling all aspiring actors and performers!

We’ve got karaoke for singers, open mics for stand-up comics, and jam sessions for musicians. But where do actors go to practice and perform?

Introducing ACT OUT Night, a safe and supportive space for actors to shine. Whether you’re an experienced actor looking to try a new character or someone who’s never acted before, this is your chance to take the stage.

Here’s what to expect:

• Acting Performances: For the first half of the evening, it’s all about acting. Bring a monologue you’ve worked on or choose one from our provided selection. Memorized or not, it’s your call. And remember, feedback is entirely up to you—no unsolicited critiques allowed.
• After Party Performances: The second half opens up to other art forms. Sing a Broadway tune, test out new stand-up material, or even perform a bit of drag. This is your time to explore and express.

ACT OUT Night isn’t just about performing; it’s about building a community where everyone feels encouraged and celebrated. So, step out of your comfort zone and join us for a night of creativity, fun, and applause.

Because who knows where it might lead? At the very least, it’s a lot more exciting than performing in front of your bathroom mirror. Let’s ACT OUT together!

The Kiwanis Club of Ocala is hosting its 13th Annual Sportsman’s Dinner and Auction on Thursday, August 22, 2024, at the Oak Run Palm Grove Clubhouse. We invite you to be part of helping the children of the Marion County, Florida community. Your contribution goes to Kiwanis Club projects such as Reading is Fundamental, Homeless Hygiene Kits, Camp Kiwanis Scholarships, and the Key Clubs of 5 high schools in our Marion County community. Our mission is to improve the world one child and one community at a time and with this event sponsorship, you can propel that mission to greater heights. Kids need Kiwanis and Kiwanis needs your help.

We invest in our counties future by investing in our children. We build literacy, social and safety skills with programs shown to be effective: Programs such as our signature Camp Kiwanis Summer Camp which  just celebrated 75 years of continuous operation with one pandemic exception. Our Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program which places books in the hands of students in PreK to Grade 4 – Books they can keep in their home library. Our Reach Out and Read program which, in cooperation with pediatricians, places books in the hands of parents to read to very young children. And, our safety programs: teaching children to swim and providing car seats, bike helmets, and cribs (which prevent co-sleeping deaths).
