Wednesday, May 8, 2024, 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

Here's your chance to work with this top casting director from one of Broadway's biggest casting offices.

His Broadway credits include: Take Me Out, A Christmas Carol, Merrily We Roll Along, Funny Girl, A Beautiful Noise, New York, New York, Almost Famous and Tootsie.

For your first class, Jason will have received your headshots ahead of time and "cast" each actor in a theater scene, which you will be sent via email 1-2 days in advance.

The night will start off with a Q&A, and then you will read your sides with a reader.

Be prepared for awesome feedback and training that will impact your auditions immediately.

In the second week, you'll be paired with a scene partner from class to perform different material assigned by Jason. You will get to work on two plays in his class.

Jason is always interested in meeting trained actors of all types-all ethnicities-all ages (18+) for their many projects.
