TRU to Present 'The Other Side Of The Table: What Auditions Look Like To The People Who Do The Casting'

A dependable haven for artists in isolation, Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) is now in its fourth year of non-stop weekly Community Gatherings this Friday, having offered to date over 250 conversations and unlimited camaraderie since April 17, 2020. 

4/11 - The Other Side of the Table: What Auditions Look Like to the People Who Do the Casting. In the room: Robin Carus, casting director; Cody Lassen, producer (How I Learned To Drive, A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, Indecent, Spring Awakening Deaf West revival); Denis Jones, director/choreographer (Tony noms for Tootsie and Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn, Honeymoon in Vegas; plus Kennedy Center Guys and Dolls, NY City Center ENCORES Paint Your Wagon, Eurydice at The Met); and Tamra Pica, indie producer and casting director.

Many actors are terrified of auditions, others love the process. Not all of them understand it from a casting person's perspective. We've invited a casting director, producer and director-choreographer - the three main voices in the process - to share their experiences, both live and virtual. And how they differ. Who does what, best practices for running a professional session, what they each look for and what they each wish every actor would know when they come into the room.
