Let's Talk Shop Let’s Talk Shop The Business of Show with BAA’s Director & Founder, Jennifer Johns-Grasso 1 Common Questions we will cover in our chat today: ● What is the difference between an agent and a manager? Is a manager the best way to go if I’m just starting out? How do I land an interview with an agent or a manager? ● What exactly is the role of a Casting Director? Can I submit my materials to a Casting Director without having an agent? ● Am I ready to pursue NY or local representation? Do I really NEED and agent or manager to get auditions or move my career ahead? ● Do “mailings” to agents and casting directors get looked at? (I’m talking about U.S “snail mail”! What should my mailing look like to get the most attention – re: envelope, picture, resume, and cover letter? ● Now that we are navigating this new environment, should we be EMAILING agents, managers, and casting directors? When IS it appropriate to call or email? ● What is the difference between signing and freelancing with an agent? Can I freelance with more than one agent? ● Once I start working with an agent, how do I maintain the relationship most effectively? ● What are the secrets of “self-submitting” when I find out about a big project that is being cast? ● Should I put together a website or a clip reel and what should be on it? What about YouTube? Social media? ● Should I send a picture (headshot) postcards as follow up and if so, when and to whom? Should I follow up by email? Subject lines for follow up… ● Is a good headshot and resume really that important? How do I get the best headshot and how much should it cost? ● What is the secret to getting a headshot that really works for me and gets me in the door? What is the biggest mistake most actors make with their headshots? ● The Unions: How important is it to be in SAG-AFTRA or EQUITY (AEA)? ● When is the right time to join the unions? ● Should I consider commercial work? How do I go about that? 2 ● What are the most important dos and don’t once I land a big audition? Should I chat with the casting director? Should I shake everyone’s hand? Should my material be memorized or should I use the paper? What distinguishes good audition from a “knock their socks off” audition? ● Is knowing and marketing my “type” important? How do I go about finding age appropriate and “type” appropriate audition material? ● Who are the top NY casting directors I should focus on? ● Who are the top NY agents I should focus on? ● Should I keep an audition and workshop journal? What should be included? ● What should I be doing with my time during this Pandemic to make sure I am READY when the next big opportunity comes along? Important things to think about: ● Auditions are a mini- performance ● The greatest gift an actor has to offer (Being YOU!) ● Focusing on the things you CAN control (and discarding the things you CAN’T!) ● Rejection: Resilience (Hearing “No!” can instead become hearing “Next!!!”) ● Persistence and perseverance ● The three things a day plan ● Marketing- the magic of threes ● Regional Markets (The Season Overview) ● Doing your research! Opportunity is knowing what’s available out there! ● Training and Classes ● PWE! (Professional Work Ethic) ● Getting a “note” is receiving a gift! ● Developing a Great Reputation ● An Exit Strategy If you have additional questions, please add them to the write in spot and I will do my best to address them in our discussion! Additionally, I am very happy to set up a live, skype, or phone career consultation to assist you with putting an individualized business plan or showcase follow up in place!

  • A Comedy Revolution Comes to Starlight Indoors This Winter
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rachel Bliss, Starlight Theatre [email protected] 816-997-1151-office 785-259-3039-cell A Comedy Revolution Comes to Starlight Indoors This Winter Playing November 5-17 only! “SMART, SILLY AND “SPAMILTON IS SO “THE NEXT BEST THING CONVULSIVELY FUNNY” INFECTIOUSLY FUN THAT IT TO SEEING HAMILTON!” - The New York Times COULD EASILY RUN AS LONG - New York Post AS ITS INSPIRATION!” – The Hollywood Reporter KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As the weather cools off, the stage house heats up with the 2019-20 Starlight Indoors series, sponsored by the Missouri Lottery. Now in its fifth season, this year’s lineup of hilarious Off-Broadway hits opens November 5-17 with the North American tour of Spamilton: An American Parody, making its Kansas City premiere. Tickets are on sale now. Created by Gerard Alessandrini, the comic mastermind behind the long-running hit Forbidden Broadway, which played the 2017-18 Starlight Indoors series, Spamilton: An American Parody is a side-splitting new musical parody based on a blockbuster hit of a similar name. After numerous extensions of its run in New York, this hilarious production made a splash in Chicago, Los Angeles and London. Now, Spamilton: An American Parody brings a singing, dancing and comedy revolution to Kansas City. “Spamilton pays a hilarious tribute to its inspiration and is smart, sharp and funny to its core— everything you’d want and more from a spoof of Broadway’s most popular musical,” Caroline Gibel, director of indoor programming at Starlight, said. “The best part is, you don’t have to have seen Hamilton to enjoy Spamilton.

Ms. McDonald will play the strong-willed Josie, a farmer’s daughter who plots against their alcoholic landlord, James Tyrone Jr. (Mr. Swenson), only to find charged emotional connections with him. Gordon Edelstein will direct the play, which will run Aug. 5-23 on the festival’s main stage. The two other main stage productions will be world premieres of “Off the Main Road,” a play by William Inge (“Picnic”) that was thought to be lost, and “Paradise Blue,” a drama by Dominique Morisseau about a trumpeter and his struggling Detroit jazz club. “Off the Main Road” will star the Emmy Award winner Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”) as an emotionally fragile mother on the run with her daughter. The play will run June 30-July 19, and Evan Cabnet will direct. Casting will be announced later for “Paradise Blue,” which will run July 22- Aug. 2 and be directed by Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson. On the festival’s Nikos Stage, the Tony winner Cynthia Nixon will play a newspaper editor in a power struggle in Carey Perloff’s new play “Kinship,” directed by Jo Bonney.
