Editor's Note: Actor/director/teacher/playwright Ami Sallee Corley (right) continues her series of posts about the challenges of being a freelance artist in Tampa Bay. This week's topic: Auditions.
One of the major factors in being a successful freelance actor is getting work, right? Well ask any actor in the Bay area how to find out when auditions are happening and you'll get as many answers as people you ask.
There is no one-stop shopping spot where people list auditions. If there is, it has got to be Tampa's best-kept secret. Raise your hand if you knew that Jobsite just held their 2009-2010 season auditions last week and that American Stage held their auditions over a month ago? Most other theaters are participating in the Tampa Area Unified Auditions next weekend, hosted by HCC Ybor.
