Why We're Doing This

Showcases are an interesting blend of performance and marketing. When done right, the experience is exciting for the actors and inspiring for the industry professionals in attendance. Correctly cast actors in innovative, original scenes are a pleasure to watch. And with each actor's marketing materials in top shape, you'll know you're connecting with true professionals. If you're a casting director, that means you can consider an excellent showcase your first preread of actors you'll eventually cast. If you're an agent or manager, that means you are seeing actors who are ready to join your roster and score you some commission dollars.

Of course, you don't have to love every actor you see in our showcase. But we suspect that you will. At the very least, you'll have an hour of laughs bookended by sparkling cocktails and yummy munchies, during which you can catch up with that colleague you only ever seem to speak to on the phone. We'll send you out with a comprehensive program, a packet of actors' headshots and resumés, and a DVD compilation of participants' demo reels.

You're busy. You like to laugh. You enjoy evaluating the work of talented actors who know exactly how the industry sees them. You won't see "the same old stuff" you've seen in a zillion other showcases. And you won't see character actors trying to convince you they're romantic leads. In just over an hour, you'll enjoy a fast-paced, professionally directed, comedic showcase of 42 carefully screened and appropriately cast actors.

Did we mention that we've chosen a location where free parking is a breeze? Awesome, right? Yeah. We thought so too.
