How long have you exhibited work at CityArts?

Since 2008.



How do you prepare for a show each year?

That's another interview! Short version- you just make it happen. A slur of caffeine, watching documentaries, collaborating with people to get work done, and sharpening up on your skills. There's a number of things. This particular show coming up, the…

I find that common sense is not something inherited by everyone. So…here are 5 common sense steps to make your chances of getting re-hired better!

1)      Show up on time! Do you remember that saying, “Early is on-time, on-time is late?” Do your due diligence and at least be sitting in a chair in the break room at call time.  Don’t be in the parking lot!

2)      Know who is around you! Be careful what you say, you never know who is listening!…

As part of promoting AuditionInside.com, I post auditions for new employers coming on board our website.  One day I posted for a company with the word “theater” in their name. Without thinking twice, I changed “theater” to “theatre.” No big deal, right? Well…I didn’t think so until I received an email from the employer asking me to change “theatre” back to “theater.”

At this point I felt terrible. I just assumed that…

We all know those people that won’t…hold on, let’s be honest here, CAN’T take a note. It might be humanly impossible for them to take a note. No matter how outrageous or wrong their mistake or misnomer is, it is never their fault.  It is as if they are completely incapable of doing anything wrong.  Normal excuses amount to, “It wasn’t me, it was him” or “you saw it wrong.”

You do yourself no favors when you refuse to take notes from your direct lead or supervisor. Especially…

One thing to consider once you get your first job in the arts: Do you need an emergency fund?

Starting an emergency fund is a tip that you will find in any financial planner’s playbook.  The minute an artist finds a full-time or consistent job, he or she should think about this:

• Save 3-6 months’ worth of expenses as soon as you can

One down side of the entertainment & arts industry continues to be that workers’ compensation benefits are…

Every person has something that p***** them off. There’s always that one little thing that someone else does that throws you, wait…hurls you…off the edge!

        Today we are at a crossroads, a place where we must decide if we are going to be a global society based on sharing, or if we will continue to pursue our own game, regardless of how it affects one another. No longer must we participate in the corrupt banking industry, or be ruled by the avarice of financiers. We must take control back from the %1 who exploits the %99. In this way as one human family we shall break the artificial constructs: corporations, the governments that serve…
