If you’re a new (or not-so-new) actor in New York, you probably know it can be tough to find your people. Trying to fit in a little chill time between jobs, scripts, and auditions isn’t easy, and doesn’t leave much time for networking, let alone finding new friends to fill your comp seats on opening night.
