Acting Idol

There are competition shows for singing, dancing, stand up, fashion design, modeling, baking, and even magic...basically everything except acting! We intend to change that with Acting Idol, a monthly fundraiser for All You Can Eat Productions' upcoming short film, Madame X.

At our inaugural show on May 19, ten actors auditioned live for a chance to earn a coveted Golden Ticket to The RAT. The evening had everything you’d expect from a classic early-2000s competition show: dramatic meltdowns, delightfully sassy commentary from our guest judges Alisa Morales and Meredith Dietz, emotional backstories that definitely didn’t influence the judges’ decisions, and, most importantly, unforgettable performances from some of NYC’s finest actors. By the end of the night, our panel narrowed the field to the Top 6 contestants.

Now the power is in your hands. Over the next five months, audiences will decide who goes home and who gets to fight another day in this live acting showdown where every choice counts and nothing is off-limits.

Every vote matters and anything can happen.

This month’s theme is Pride, celebrating works by LGBTQ+ playwrights. Contestants will tackle scenes that highlight voices, experiences, and artistry in a night dedicated to honoring the richness and diversity of queer storytelling.

Expect bold performances, brutal honesty, a fair amount of silliness, and moments you’ll definitely be talking about the next day.

Cast your vote, support your favorite performer, and help decide who advances to the next round of the competition. The future of Acting Idol is in your hands.
