Thank you to TUBU Fest for having me this weekend to speak about actor resumes, headshots, and preparing materials for upcoming auditions.
Really appreciated the conversations and the opportunity to connect with everyone involved in the community.

Citywide Auditions 2026 | ATX Theatre ATX Theatre serves audiences and also theatremakers! Our biggest industry event of the year is Citywide Auditions. 300 actors will be seen in 2 days by 50 producers/directors.
Scheduling conflicts happen.
A callback, a pin, a ROFR, another audition. The most important thing is communication and making sure everyone has the information they need as early as possible.
A lot of these situations can be handled professionally when communication happens quickly and clearly.
