Working the Scene in Rainbow
Working the Scene in Rainbow is a live virtual scene-reading session, featuring works by 2SLGBTQIA+ Ontario-based scriptwriters.
Working the Scene in Rainbow is a place for 2SLGBTQIA+ writers to hear their work read aloud by 2SLGBTQIA+ professional actors and an opportunity to network with an audience of industry members. Actor/readers will be cast from within the ACTRA Toronto membership. The event is open to industry partners, friends and all ACTRA members in good standing.
If you are an Industry Partner (producer, director, casting director, literary agent, etc.), Working the Scene in Rainbow is a great opportunity to discover the ACTRA Toronto actor you need for your next project.

Call for Writers
Working the Scene in Rainbow is looking for…
- Ontario-based writers who self-identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to submit new or previously unproduced works to be read as part of outACTRAto’s Working the Scene in Rainbow.
- Writers do not have to be members of WGC or ACTRA.
- Writers must be available for the reading on June 17, 2024.
Goals:
- Giving space to established and emerging 2SLGBTQIA+ writers to have new scripts read live by professional actors and for their work to be seen and heard by members of the industry.
- Giving 2SLGBTQIA+ actors a space to perform roles they may have fewer opportunities to play in the industry and to be seen and heard by industry members.
