The address is 217 South Salina Street, Syracuse, NY 13202: on the corner of South Salina and East Fayette, right in the Heart of Downtown Syracuse. Wildflowers is closed Mondays, so we will enter through Jamaica Cuse, a Caribbean Restaurant that shares the same building. We will have a sign out front and Joe will be there in the beginning to welcome everyone and steer traffic.
We will have several awesome performances including a short Christmas play by John Brackett! We are also looking for a few more actors to volunteer to perform monologues or scenes. (Contact Joe if interested [email protected], and send a headshot for promo.)
SASMAS is our own Christmas celebration together! We love celebrating the holiday with our community of actor friends! Please bring a SASMAS dish to pass (potluck style) and label your food in case of allergies. We will have plates, napkins, and cutlery.
If anyone would like to come early around 6PM and bring decorations and help decorate, you are welcome!
Our main event will be a SASMAS play adapted by Jay & Joe entitled “It’s a Wonderful SAS!” inspired by the Frank Capra film we all know and love! We will be casting the parts on the night of from SAS actors!
For our exercises, Laura will lead a warm-up, to continue our tradition, and we will be doing an old favorite, holiday-inspired improv!
As per tradition as well, we will be doing Secret Santa! Please bring a gift under $5 to trade. Gifts can be left under the tree until we pass them out.
Also per tradition, we are having a best SASMAS dressed contest, prizes to be awarded!
And as always, at the end we will have a small amount of time for announcements if anyone wants to plug a show, announce casting, or the like; with time after to network and socialize.
We will of course have SAS After Hours with Jay Merante of Jay Merante Comedy, please like & subscribe! It’s always a lot of fun and we encourage anyone who wants to stay after to join in the improv comedy to do so. Jay is also open to ideas for skits from actors.
We will as always have a hat out for donations. Half of the donations go to our host, and half to SAS for supplies.
Waters are provided! (Please label and recycle.)
We will meet at 7PM at Wildflowers lower level/The McCarthy Mercantile to socialize until we begin. Someone will be at the front entrance to greet you approx. 6:30/45 PM until around 7:15. Anyone lost, or if you need assistance or an escort, please call/text Joe Cunningham 315-863-9407.
