​​

Why should you attend? 

• Work-shop pieces under Agent’s direction! You will have an opportunity to read, work with directives, and receive written feedback from Philadelphia’s Top Agents & Managers. Talent may choose two of the following to perform: 1-minute contemporary monologue and/or commercial and/or corporate copy (commercial and corporate copy can be provided by KWC).

• The seminar portion is a rare opportunity to learn valuable audition information as well as get answers to many of your questions.

Enrollment is kept to a minimum so you receive valuable tutorial as well as one on one time.

Are you aware that casting directors procure talent primarily through agents and managers?

This is a rare opportunity for Agents/Managers to spend time with you.
