Event Description

How does an actor navigate the landscape to begin to create a career? What makes a good headshot? How do I set up a resume? In Boston, do I need an agent, and how do I find one to represent me? What work can I get on my own? And what exactly is StageSource?
These and all of your questions are answered in detail by two of Boston's longtime veterans of theatre and film. With over 50 years of experience between them throughout New England and in New York, Lynda and Kevin will break down the areas of work available, and give you the tools you need to treat Acting as a Business. 
Saturday March 30, 2pm to 6pm, $25.00
