- **Event Name**: SAS 24: DIRECTORS PANEL & 2nd ANNUAL LIP-SYNC BATTLE at American High
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the 24th session of the Syracuse Actors Studio on Monday, February 23rd, 2026 7PM-10PM, which will be our Directors Panel &amp; 2nd Lip-Sync Battle at American High!

Our main event will be our Directors Panel featuring several amazing local directors: Jeremy Garelick, John Ginty, Michael Flores, Nichole Cavallaro, and James Marlowe! Our moderator will also be a great director, SAS member Aaron Williams! We look forward to an insightful discussion and there will also be time for audience Q&amp;A.

Our Master of Ceremonies will once again be THE Dan Dalin!

The Lip-Sync Battle is back for our second year in a row! It was a huge hit last year. Jay Merante who created it will be leading again with our emcee THE Dan Dalin assisting running it. This time we will have an American Idol theme with 4 celebrity guest judges on stage for the performances: David Gilmore as Simon Cowell, Sylvie Prendergast as Sofia Vergara, Stephen Wurst as Howie Mandel, and Hannah Blumenthal as Katy Perry! We might not have time for everyone who wants to go, so anyone who wants to perform has to put their name in a hat and go by luck of the draw. We will fit in as many as we can. A prize will be awarded to the top scorer.

In order to have enough time for both the panel and lip-sync battle (which was a huge hit last year) we won’t be having performances (scenes and monologues) this session. We will post about volunteers for future sessions soon.

We are looking for volunteers to help with snacks, setup, microphones during Q&amp;A, tech, our welcome committee, and decorating. Please contact our Vice President Laura Stisser @ lastisser@gmail.com if you would like to help!

And as always, at the end we will have a small amount of time for announcements if anyone wants to plug a show, announce casting, or the like; with time after to network and socialize.

We will have a shorter version of SAS After Hours with Jay Merante of Jay Merante Comedy, please like &amp; subscribe! It’s always a lot of fun and we encourage anyone who wants to stay after to join in the improv comedy to do so. Jay is also open to ideas for skits from actors.

This special SAS will be held at American High 800 4th Street, Liverpool, NY 13088. Please use the parking lots in front, by the basketball court and street parking as noted. Guests enter through the front door (we will have a welcoming committee downstairs starting around 6:30PM) and proceed upstairs to the auditorium area. Special reminder: we must be very respectful of the neighbors and sound outside.

We will as always have a hat out for donations. This time, as always with our friends at AH, we will be donating the funds to The Academy at American High! Special thank you again to American High for hosting us! We love being there.

Waters are provided! (Please label and recycle.) We plan to have some snacks as well.

Syracuse Actors Studio is always a free monthly meetup for actors where we learn from and practice acting with each other. Actors of all experience levels are encouraged to attend! Filmmakers, writers, playwrights, producers, casting agents, and observers are welcome as well.
