First Step Actors Softball





FIRST Step Actors Studio is a North Vancouver group dedicated to helping actors get a good start in a very difficult industry. Taking classes with these folks is only half the fun though. And to celebrate their second anniversary, the group got all the classes together to play a little softball. Even the kids' classes got in on the action at North Van's Kilmer Park on a great Saturday afternoon with the sun shining and smiles all round.
