SHOWCASE PROGRAM
Our Scene Study program is designed to help actors move beyond surface performance and dive into the emotional, psychological, and technical depth required for authentic, compelling work. We’ve pushed past limitations — both real and imagined — and emerged with a deeper understanding of our craft, our voice, and our purpose as storytellers. This is more than just a performance. It’s a stress test for bold choices, a celebration of risk-taking, and a chance to breathe life into what was once only ink on a page.
Each scene represents countless hours of exploration, rehearsal, and discovery. This showcase is where craft and courage meet — where words finally find their voice on stage. We’re proud of every actor who stepped up to the challenge, and we invite you to witness the results of their dedication, vulnerability, and artistry.

MEET THE CAST
A Special Thanks to
Marc Gaudet
Principal Agent
Marc Gaudet was an actor in Vancouver for 25 years having booked numerous Film, TV, and commercials roles. His knowledge and experience of the ins & outs of being a working actor is second to none in Vancouver. Marc created, owned and operated ActorVan Studios running hundreds of casting director workshops, classes, and coaching sessions. More importantly, he’s open, approachable, and keen on building solid rapport with his actors. Marc firmly believes there are 1000 characters in all of us!
Principal Agent
Owen
Owen spent the better part of three decades as an Executive VP across a variety of sectors. He is also a public speaker, advocate, and co-owner of two restaurants — one, a Euro movie/deli lounge with a twist, and the other focused on stand-up comedy.
Owen is also a jazz and classically trained musician with expertise in 143 styles of music. He was inducted into the NY Blues Hall of Fame in 2015 and has performed and competed globally since high school.
After a nine-year hiatus, Owen returned to the industry in early 2022 with a very different perspective on the business.
Owen is not your typical agent. He wears many hats: agent, manager, reader, life coach, psychologist, psychiatrist, gatekeeper, best friend, #1 fan and cheerleader — and semi-lethal protector. ;)
His main goal is to change the way the agent/actor relationship works. Communication and the ongoing development of his actors are paramount to his ever-evolving approach in this constantly changing industry.
His philosophy is simple: Make your weaknesses your strengths and ALWAYS BE TRAINING (ABT).
Owen will push you to be your best, encourage you to take risks with your choices, and never beat around the bush when it comes to feedback and constructive criticism. Blowing smoke up your ass doesn't solve anything. If he loves your work, he’ll tell you. If he doesn’t, he’ll tell you that too.
Owen currently represents actors across Canada, the United States, China, Korea, Australia and Europe.
A big thank you to
