Happy Monday, Stage 32 Community!

As we continue to settle into a new year, I want to invite you to something that has become one of my favorite moments each month here on Stage 32: our Community Open House.

This is where conversations begin, connections form, and clarity replaces overwhelm.

If you’ve been meaning to get more involved on Stage 32, meet collaborators, ask questions about next steps, or simply stop creating in isolation, this Open House is for you.

This Month’s Community Open House

Every Success Story Begins With a First Step

The Stage 32 Community Open House is not a presentation, and it’s not a one-way walkthrough. It’s a fully interactive session, guided by me and shaped by the people in the room.

This is your opportunity to show up as you are, share what you’re working toward, and get real-time guidance on how to use Stage 32 in ways that genuinely support your creative goals.

Whether you’re chasing representation, looking for collaborators, developing a project, or simply ready to feel less alone in your creative journey, this event is designed to help you take that next step with intention.

A Live, Interactive Experience Built Around You

During the Open House, you’ll have the chance to:

• Share your goals and what you’re currently working on
• Ask questions about how to best use Stage 32 for your specific path
• Learn where to focus your energy so you’re not doing everything at once
• Get clarity on the tools, resources, and opportunities available to you right now

I’ll walk you through the most powerful ways to engage with the platform, including how to:

• Build a strong profile that acts as your virtual business card and clearly communicates who you are and what you do
• Participate in the free Stage 32 Lounges in a way that builds visibility, trust, and genuine relationships
• Make compelling posts, contribute meaningfully to conversations, and stay active without burning out
• Keep up with industry news, platform updates, and community insights through the Stage 32 Blog
• Navigate Stage 32 Education, Certification, and Script Services based on your next big move

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things for where you are right now.

Whether You’re New or a Longtime Member, This Is for You

If you’re brand new to Stage 32, the Open House will help you find your footing and understand where to start.

If you’ve been part of the community for a while, this is a great chance to reconnect, meet new creatives, and discover resources or opportunities you may not have explored yet.

No matter your role: writer, director, producer, actor, editor, or multi-hyphenate, you’ll walk away with clearer direction and practical next steps.

Live Q&A Focused on Your Goals

We’ll close the session with a live Q&A tailored entirely to the questions in the room. This is your chance to ask about anything you’re navigating right now, from community engagement to career strategy to platform resources.

Wherever you’re starting from, this Open House is meant to meet you there.
