Agencies & Casting Directors
Erica Daniels, Steppenwolf Theatre Company
As a Casting Director, what advice do you have for actors looking to get gigs?
You should crash AEA Generals as a Non-equity Actor.
It is possible to gate-crash the Steppenwolf Equity general. I try to see as many people as possible and estimate 150-180 non-Equity actors had a chance to do their monologue the last time. It's a great way for me to get to know you. So, come early, around 8 AM, and put your name on the waiting list because actors are seen on a first come - first serve basis.
Understudying at Steppenwolf can lead to being cast for stage roles.
