AGENT & MANAGER SHOWCASES & FULL-SCALE PRODUCTIONS

It’s often challenging to get in front of talent agents, managers and casting directors. A Class Act NY’s industry showcases and productions provide aspiring actors an opportunity to perform for 20 or more industry professionals in one evening.

Many of our students have been successfully scouted from our Showcases and are now appearing on Broadway, in films, t.v. shows and commercials. Click here to read about some of our students’ professional progress.

Showcases and productions are by audition only.

** PARENTS: Before auditioning, please consider the sacrifices that a family will need to make should a child begin to work with an agent or manager. This is a big commitment on your part to get kids to auditions and jobs.

Should you have a question about the business and need advice, please call our office and we will do the best we can to explain the process.

Congrats to all of our fall 2011 performers who were called back for 2nd round interviews/auditions for Talent Agents & Managers and to those who have signed or are already freelancing!

Most every one of the performers were called back and are working with agents and managers!

The agents/managers said they had never been to a showcase in which so many kids were called back! And that they thought it was “awesome!” - Talent Manager, Judith Battista of Parkside Talent had this to say about our Showcase: Click Here to Read Manager Testimonial
