Don’t Wait Tables
Don’t wait tables – make an act!

The project is designed to assist these artists in making a short act from which they can earn cash money. This could be a street show, a roving performance or a cabaret act.

14 and 15 September 2013 at Soho Theatre Studio, London (exact dates and times tbc)
