Hi there,
Im currently looking for as many oppurtunities as possible to take up for 2009, as I'm just out of school and
want to start building a career for myself in acting, for both screen and theatre. Im auditioning for frog management (I was
previously with Actors Management but have decided to change), missed out on the Black Swan hotbed auditions due to being 14 days
too young at the time of auditions (phooey!!!), am considering Pac screen workshops, will be auditioning for local theatre,
and once 18 the Black Swan theatre company itself. I also attend lessons with James Hagan (perth people may know him).
Im just wondering if anyone else knows something they would really recommend, whether it be training or a way of getting
roles. Companies? Teachers? Agents? Any recommendations would be helpful.
Thanks. Smiling

Sounds like you have things pretty much in order there.

Alternate Agents - Jenni Cohen, Annie Murtagh-Monks (more a Casting Direcot these days)

PAC is great. Also, read the FAQ Pages here for a review on Finding an Agent.

Also look into Union Membership with MEAA, or locally known as Actors Equity.

Agents always want to know where you're working so community theatre has some great opportunities. Go into plays etc with the attitude of always having something to learn and practice your craft (from James etc) on the stage. You'll get a mix of experiences with some up and coming prima donnas, some quiet ex pros who have lots to offer, plus heaps of talented people who have day jobs. I made some amazing contacts thru community theatre.

I wanted to say as well I love your enthusiasm, and don't worry about your age, acting is for all ages and time brings life experience and wisdom that you bring to the stage...just ask James he'll agree I'm sure!

Steele Rudd, adapted by Richard Fotheringham

Lis Shelley, music directed by Christina Mimmocchi

It's 1886 in a bark hut on the Darling Downs. Things are dire for the Rudd family, the drought is biting and the bills are mounting up. Will Dad find a way of paying the bills? Will the bear industry save their bacon? Will Sarah find true love? Will Joe ever learn? Will the mystery of the Rudd’s adopted son be solved? And will it rain by Christmas?
