Hello New York actors!
I'm an actor here in LA (originally from Chicago) I have an opportunity to move to NY (I currently live in LA) in the spring for 6 months (maybe longer) and stay practically rent free with some friends in Brooklyn. My "other job when I'm not acting" here in LA is ending soon so this would be a perfect opportunity to do this. I am primarily a theatre actor so I feel that NY would be great for me. I also have a cousin who owns a salon out there willing to hook me up with a job. So basically it's a great opportunity for a change of scenery but remain true to my acting dreams. I was just wondering if there were any NY actors or theatre people that could give me some tips or pointers on where to start once I get there. I do have a commercial agent in LA who is going to submit me in NY and I'm hoping to secure a theatrical agent before I go as well. But is there anything you would suggest I do? Maybe sign with Central Casting NY? Ect...Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!
