Representation?“I’m 16 and in the middle of my performing arts course. I have experience in entertainment as I currently have a job as a part time kids’ entertainer. Is there any way I can get acting work now or do I wait until professional training? Would I be able to find an agent willing to represent me?” —happyactorgirl
Equity vs. Non-Equity?“Hi all,
“I see that a play in the NYC area is auditioning ‘Equity Actors’ for a play. My daughter is 11 and is new to the industry. As I understand it, Equity is essentially Union and Non-Equity is non-union. Can she audition for a ‘Equity Actor’ show? I’m reading that one of the few ways to become Equity is to be hired into an Equity show. Thanks very much
