FAQ’s
[1] DO I HAVE TO SHOW UP ON SATURDAY AT 1PM?
NO! Being first in line does not give you any advantages. You can show up ANYTIME during the Casting Calls on Saturday OR Sunday between 1pm and 6pm and we will register you and take your information & photo.
[2] SHOULD I BRING A PHOTO/HEADSHOT/RESUME TO THE CASTING CALL?
We will take a photo there, but it’s always a good idea to bring a recent photo — and it should go without saying that if you are an actor you should ALWAYS bring your headshot AND resume, or three, to any and every casting call/audition.
