| Question: Proper procedure for fanmail/asking for signatures on a playbill for a Broadway show? Posted: 21 Jan 2016 09:01 PM PST Back when Hamilton first came on Broadway, my sister and I practically emptied our bank accounts buying tickets for the day after Christmas. We're absolutely obsessed and loved the show, but we couldn't stay for signatures as it was quite late and we were expected back to the hotel. I would really really love to have my sister's playbill signed as a birthday gift, but I have no idea as to how I would go about asking. I was reading about it and heard you have to send a self-addressed stamped envelope with your fan mail to the stage manager, but how does this work? Do I send the playbill with the SASE? Or do they provide me with one? How big should my SASE be? Should I include a donation with my letter? I heard that most places ask for one in exchange for signatures. If anyone has direct information on HAMILTON, that would be the most helpful. Should I perhaps email Lin-Manuel Miranda first and ask about the donation part? So many questions. Thank you! |

| Question: Star Wars Audition Question? Posted: 21 Jan 2016 02:22 PM PST Like almost any other actor gets cast in a movie. The production hires a casting director to find qualified actors to audition for the show. The casting director writer a "breakdown" - a description of the project and the roles to be cast. The breakdown is sent to talent agents. Agents review the breakdown and submit qualified actors to audition for the role. To submit means to send in an actor's professional head shot and resume listing their acting training, experince, special skills and links to their show reel demonstrating their previous screen work. If the casting director is interested, they invite the actor to audition. With Star Wars producers did a publicity stunt by making the breakdown public. The casting director was not going to seriously consider anyone not submitted by agents they trust. You can't hire an agent - legitimate agents are paid a percentage of what an actor makes. Their job is to basically weed out the unqualified actors and represent the cream of the crop - the ones with the talent, training, experince and marketability to book professional job. That's why casting directors go through agents to cast projects. They don't want to have to wade through a bunch of unqualified submissions. It's just not an effective or efficient way to hire actors. Companies invest a lot of money in the projects and they trust that investment to trained and experienced professionals. |
| Question: What's a better stage name? Posted: 21 Jan 2016 02:04 PM PST A lot depends on the image you wish to portray... Eleanor sounds for distinguished and refined, good for someone wanting to be cast in more serious or older roles.. but it might sound too "stuffy" to appeal to someone casting a light, off-beat comedy. Ellie sounds lively and fun, good for someone wanting to be cast in more youthful or comedic roles..but it might sound too "frivolous" to someone casting a more serious role. If you're a younger actor, I'd suggest "Ellie"... I think the last name "Violet" (a serious & sober color associated with luxury but also with depth and introspection) provides a good contrast to the "girlish" and youthful first name. |
