Question
My name is Brittany I have been searching for a long time on auditions in my area. I would like to persue my dream of becoming and actress. I would like to star on Disney Channel some day. I know what I will not give up until my dream comes true. Can you help me find Audtions for a role in my area. Like around Minnesota area? Please help! Thanks;)

Answer
Brittany,

Thanks for writing. Your best bet for auditions is to contact either The Minnesota Film Commission and ask if they know of any auditions or can connect you with Casting Directors in your area, or contact The Guthrie Theatre, the largest and most professional theater company in Minnesota. If you want to know more about Disney's auditions, then you should contact Disney in Burbank at their main number which is 818-560-1000.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Phil
