Battle Acts Live is an evening of comedic and dramatic performances, hosted by the manic personalities of the Galinsky Brothers (of the Manhattan Monologue Slam fame), featuring celebs and newbies alike in 2 acts of live performance battle & action. Act 1 - "The Championship Set" features 6 seasoned actors performing a comedic or dramatic 2.5 minute theatrical monologue and are judged by a panel of celebrity and industry experts. The winner of Act 1 is crowned "Battle Acts Champ," returns next month to defend their title, and wins a cash prize. Act 2 - "The 30 Second Set" features up to 15 "unknowns" who battle for glory, in 30 second performances and are scored by a live audience, where you decide who wins. The winner of Act 2 has now earned the right to perform with the big dogs, in Act 1 in next month's show. Scoring - Actors are scored on three criteria: Professionalism (technical prowess), Emotional Content (do they move the audience), and Battle Guts (courage and bravada). Battle Acts Live offers the rare opportunity for performers of all genres, to showcase their dramatic and comedic chops in front of a packed house, directly in front of professional agents, casting directors, and producers. Everyone is battling for prizes but most importantly, they battle for bragging rights as the best actor in town. Doors open at 7:00 pm.
