This BLOG is for you kiddos!

I dedicate this website to my students (present and former)... and young friends... who are passionate about or interested in theatre.

I get audition calls from all over the place and everytime I come across notices looking for young actors, I always think about you guys. But there is never one place where I can post all these notices that will be accessible to all of you and my little heart will sigh in pity. I've always wanted to do a website like this for you peeps, but have been sitting on it long enough to grow moss on my butt. So here it is.

Over here, you can get audition calls from theatre, films (feature and shorts), tv and recruitment calls for volunteers, production positions and training programmes.

The theatre or rather arts industry might have its entry barrier, but it just takes a bit of googling and surfing around before you get the information. But I would like to make it even more accessible to you peeps here.

Seems like I'm more enthusiatic about this blog than my own blog (maybe I'm in the heat of things... hehe), so there's going to be regular updates and email me personally if you should need advice on how to go about getting those audition preparation done or just general advices about theatre or just for curiosity's sake or just... keeping in touch! :)

I own it to many people that I've met along the way to drop me advices that helped me, so here's my bit of paying it forward.

Bookmark this place folks!

Break a leg.

Cheers!
Renee
