Hundreds of aspiring young actors between the ages of 5 and 17 years will have a chance to showcase their talents for several of Entertainment Industry’s top agents, managers and casting directors on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. This showcase, offered by the Hollywood Group, is a unique way for these children to meet as many industry professionals as possible in a single day. Many of the auditioning children and teenagers have had extensive experience working as background talent, and they are eager to get to the next step. Not only does attending this event afford the young actors a chance to gain exposure within the Industry, it could also land them professional representation for speaking roles in major film, television, and commercial productions.
The showcase offered by the Hollywood Group on May 3rd will include the VIP panel of: Ninna Sexsmith from Daniel Hoff Agency, Irma Villalvazo from Jaime Ferrar Agency, Indra Clark from Clear Talent Group, Donna Micheline from Aimee Entertainment, Gabrielle Ilg from Bobby Ball Agency and, manager Addison Witt from Witt Management. Their clients are some of Hollywood’s most talented young stars. The showcase is an opportunity for the agents, managers and casting directors to add more talent to their already prestigious roster.
Only a few months ago, many of these children and teenagers would have been unprepared for a venue like this talent showcase. Talent is a practiced skill, however, and these kids have received valuable tools as part of their involvement with the Hollywood Group. The Hollywood Group’s program is geared towards auditioning opportunities, such as this showcase, and booking acting jobs. It provides one the opportunity to build a portfolio of experience. Many of the Hollywood Group’s members have appeared in feature films, television series and national commercials. Some of their most recent work has included “Bedtime Stories” starring: Adam Sandler, Keri Russell, Guy Pearce, Courtney Cox; “Mirrors” starring: Kiefer Sutherland; “My Sister’s Keeper” starring: Cameron Diaz, Joan Cusack; “Seven Pounds” starring: Will Smith, Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson; “The Soloist” starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Catherine Keener and TV Shows like: According To Jim, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI, Drake and Josh, ER, Ghost Whisperer, Hannah Montana, How I Met Your Mother, Mad TV, My Name is Earl, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Without a Trace.

Getting your child started in the entertainment industry
Are you wondering how you can help get your child into acting?
Have you ever watched a TV show or commercial and thought “My child could do that!” or “My kid is just as cute!”? Odds are you do not have a well-connected relative in showbiz who can tell you everything you need to know. If you are “in the loop” and are aware of acting auditions for kids, or if you are able to get your teenager in front of an acting agent for teens, are you sure your child is prepared and could nail the audition? The entertainment industry is daunting; most parents do not know the proper steps to take, and need help navigating this intricate industry.
The Hollywood Group’s quality assured program consists of information, referrals, discounts and ongoing support to you and your kids as part of their preparation for working as actors. No other company has assembled a more well thought-through, comprehensive, effective, and economical approach to helping your kids get started in the Entertainment industry. The Hollywood Group's program is every bit as much for parents as it is for the kids…and it works!
If you are a kid that's interested in breaking into showbiz, or a parent of a child between ages 5 thru 16, we would love to hear from you. Some kids feel they have a true calling. Others are just curious about experiencing a movie or TV production set. Either way, if you wish to do something about enabling your child’s desires, The Hollywood Group can help.
Kids who are in our program have worked on such recent productions as Dreamgirls, Benchwarmers, Spiderman II, Mission Impossible III, Pirates of the Caribbean II, Santa Clause 3, Alias, Bernie Mac, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, That’s So Raven among many, many others. Whatever your child’s motivation for getting started, nothing will do as much to further his/her goals as experience on an actual TV show or movie set.
We recognize the indispensable role the family plays in the process of getting your kids started in entertainment; we deliver solutions that incorporate that fact. Our approach is pragmatic, hands-on—work is our focus.
For more information, please view our website http://www.hollywoodgroup.com/ or contact us at info@hollywoodgroup.com We’re looking forward to helping you begin your new adventure in acting! --The Hollywood Group Cast & Crew

Showcasing: A Group Effort
Attending a talent showcase is considered the pinnacle of the Hollywood Group program. Still many parents ask, "What is a showcase" and "Where do I find a script for the showcase?"
To answer these and many other questions about showcasing, we are proud to announce our newest workshop for parents, Showcase Planning.
The Showcase Planning Workshop equips the parent with ammunition to help their child make the most of their showcase performance. Topics to be discussed include:
- What agents and managers look for and how they select new talent
- Dos and don't including appropriate wardrobe and etiquette
- Guidelines for selecting and writing commercial material
- Tipes for encouraging your kids without pressuring them
Once your child is in front of agents and managers, the outcome is ultimately up to him. Before bringing your child to a showcase, however, it is up to you to make sure your child is fully aware of what a showcase entails and determine if your child is ready to shine. Your child has approximately one minute to impress the VIP's. Will they be ready?
