The Actors Edge & The Actor's World

We launched The Actor's Edge program in 2010, assisting hundreds of actors in mastering the business, refining their craft, securing representation, obtaining SAG membership, and equipping them with the necessary tools for success. Additionally, we facilitated Master Mind Groups with biannual retreats for over a decade, guiding actors towards advancing their careers. Now, leveraging Christy's extensive experience in the ever-evolving industry landscape, we're reintroducing a revamped version under The Actor's World, adopting a fresh business model to meet current demands.
