As social media becomes more and more prevalent in society, casting calls and other theatre things have become increasingly digital. With Facebook pages for several kinds of casting calls, specific types, agencies and websites, people have more information about how to submit to these casting calls.
In a post, describing type, age, and role, the number of viewers increases because friends who have liked the page tag their friends who fit this description in the comments, arguably making theatre more inclusive, purely on the basis that many are visually supporting each other online. As a young actor, who also juggles public school and other activities, I never submitted to these because I thought they were for older working actors only. When a family friend posted a casting call that described someone like me, I decided to submit to it, because I wanted the experience. I did not expect to be cast or to be called. Five days later, a casting agency called me and said they had one spot left for me. I was surprised to say the least. I am going to be on set of a TV show that many nationally watch and follow! I am so ecstatic about this opportunity and excited to learn from it.Videos
