HFTco’s Hamilton Cold Reads is looking for Hamilton-area writers and actors/readers! Part of 2025 Frost Bites Double-Header, this brand new event is a great opportunity for local writers and actors to showcase their work, collaborate with new pals, and connect with the city’s thriving indie arts scene.
How does Hamilton Cold Reads work?
Writers submit scripts of various formats—short plays, film scenes, TV scripts, or sketches—running 5-12 minutes. If your piece is selected by our jury, you show up an hour before doors open on Feb 13 and cast your script from a pool of eager and talented actors who show up ready to rock. That’s right – actors are cast on the spot just before the event!
And if you’re looking for a chance to keep your acting skills sharp, try something new, or hang out with local writers, performers, and artslovers, sign up as an actor! On-site sign-ups for actors will also be allowed.
Writers and actors can apply now at HFTco.ca/frost-bites. Applications close January 31. It is FREE to apply!
