Long Beach's

In the heart of the bustling port city of Long Beach, charismatic and unconventional acting coach Charlie Tentindo has a vision: to bring the magic of the stage to the streets. Armed with a portable prop box, an infectious passion for performance, and a knack for spotting hidden talent, Charlie transforms random passersby into impromptu actors. 

 

Each episode, Charlie sets up an open-air acting class on a busy sidewalk, recruiting an eclectic mix of participants—office workers on lunch break, tourists, street performers, and even skeptics.

 

Through quirky exercises, hilarious missteps, and deeply personal breakthroughs, Charlie helps these everyday people discover their inner stars. Whether it’s an impromptu monologue, an emotional improv scene, or a full-fledged street performance, "Sidewalk Stars" showcases the transformative power of acting and reminds us that anyone, anywhere, can shine in the spotlight.

 

The show blends comedy, heart, and a touch of drama, celebrating the vibrant humanity of the city and the art of storytelling in its rawest form.
