Inspired by "The Actors Studio," THE ACTORS ARENA offers a look at acting beyond the lens and public perception. "Actors" must audition before they land the job; and if "all the world's a stage" then an arena is far more fitting than a studio. What do audiences or aspiring actors need to know? The real-life experience: the emotional roller coaster, the business of survival and the art of the hustle, all presented in an honest and engaging Master Class series with multi-awarded performer and activist Rinabeth Apostol from San Francisco, California.

Rinabeth Apostol (she/her/siya) is an award-winning actor, educator, director, and activist. She has appeared in theaters across the U.S., including American Conservatory Theater, Actors Theater of Louisville, Seattle Rep, TheatreWorks, California Shakespeare Theatre, The Magic, Arizona Theater Company, East West Players, Berkeley Rep and Skirball Center for the Arts, among others. Her offstage work ranges from television guest star roles, independent films, commercials, web series, voice over and motion capture. Rinabeth is also a regular guest lecturer for high schools, colleges & universities where she facilitates “Intro to the Industry” Q&A sessions for BIPOC students interested in a future in entertainment as well as lectures on Race & Gender Inequity in the Arts & Media. She is a proud member of Actors’ Equity, SAG-AFTRA, Ferocious Lotus Theatre Company and PlayGround.
