Do you have questions about “the business of acting”?

Each term, Carole Tarlington (former Talent Agent and Casting Director) offers a free parent workshop on “the business of acting”. Some of the topics include:

how to get an agent

an agent's responsibilities

parents' and actor's responsibilities

the casting process - how it works

This is also the time when parents can ask their questions and get expert advice from a veteran of the Vancouver entertainment industry. These workshops are a unique feature of the training at Tarlington and not to be missed.
