A special evening of new television pilot readings supported Future Artists of Los Angeles.

By: Nov. 12, 2025

The Los Angeles Community of Acting and Entertainment (LACAE) hosted a sold-out evening of never-before-seen television pilot readings performed by Emmy® winners, nominees, and Television Academy members, all in support of Future Artists of Los Angeles (FALA). The event was produced by Meredith Thomas/ FYC Independents.  Check out photos of the event.

The audience was treated to Encore Gardens, written and directed by Tanya Bershadsky, followed by Curtain Call, written and directed by T.C. De Witt.

Even with Game 7 of the World Series competing for attention, the night was described as a success filled with talent, laughter, and community spirit.

The cast and crew included Emmy® winners Patrika Darbo, Kim Estes, and Marabina Jaimes; Emmy® nominees Kelsey Scott and Tanya Bershadsky; and Television Academy members Ray Proscia, Meredith Thomas, Gabrielle Walsh, Cameron Cowperthwaite, Malik B. El-Amin, Marco Fuller, Erica Ibsen, and T.C. De Witt.
