Letter to the School for Auditions and Jobs

Hi there, For a new school, I wondered if anyone minded sharing a persuasive letter they have sent to the school regarding why your son / daughter may need time away from school to attend an audition or do filming, etc. Ideally, a meeting may be best but I am keen to have a convincing case :) Many t...

Bonnie & Betty and Hero

Hi All,
Anyone have any thoughts on Bonnie & Betty and Hero Talent Group? Bonnie & Betty offer both modelling and acting whilst Hero is acting. How busy are the kids at these agencies and do they get similar acting briefs? Thank you xx

Meeting with Head Teacher

Hi, I would be really grateful for your thoughts on this, Please? So I have a meeting scheduled with the Head Teacher to discuss absence from school due to acting/modelling. The school day is now longer due to the age of my child and getting to central London for auditions/castings will be impossibl...

Re: School Absence

Thank you again for all your replies. I definitely like the suggestion of presenting it as a fait accompli but I know that the Head Teacher believes it is her right to make this decision. It is upsetting that some heads seem to be sniffy over what work they deem as acceptable, and dismissive of e.g....

Re: School Absence

Thank you for your responses, I am so grateful. You are all so helpful. I will follow all the leads :) I understand that I must approach the council otherwise the licence will not be granted, I just hope they will be on side. With the Bank holiday, we are very short of time now. So worried that this...

School Absence

My child has been confirmed for a job (1 day) and the Headteacher is refusing to allow time off school saying "it would be too early in the term to have any absence" - it would be several days into the new term. It is supposedly not in our "child's educational interest." (althoug...

Anyone know if they ever do castings for Game of Thrones? Is it all head-hunted? TIA

Re: At wit's end

Hello,
Keep going, don't give up! You have a degree as a back up.
Is this any good? Cambridge Arts Theatre are auditioning: http://cambridgeoperatic.org.uk/?page_id=2033
Did you try to get into Footlights at Cambridge and if not, is it worth trying to get involved as a graduate now?
Good luck xx

FF About a Musician

Hi,
I wondered if anyone knew if anyone had been selected for the two children's roles? The casting was done through agencies. I believe they had two different casting days in July. Do they make up their minds quickly like commercials or do ff castings take longer?
Thanks in advance x
