SHORT & SWEET HOLLYWOOD -- ACTOR AUDITIONS
Casting sessions will be broken down by gender and age groups so that we can have some order to the process. Since we have over 40 directors that will be part of the process, this also allows them to only sit in when needed and not burn out (the better to pay attention to you!). Caveat...if you absolutely cannot make your "assigned" time, you can come at another open day/time, but first priority will be given to the folks who's time it actually is.
WOMEN -- SATURDAY, JUNE 10th
