NORTHWESTERN- DRIVEN COMEDIC WEB SERIES!
Melissa Hunter (Comm. '06) and Jennifer Cron (Comm. '07) have just released a trailer for their upcoming comedic web series "Let's Get Laid!" which they wrote, produced, and starred in. Directed by Robert Cosnahan (Comm. '05), this new web show is a raunchy, off-the-wall comedy that chronicles the dating misadventures of two girls, fresh out of college, living in LA.

CALL FOR ACTORS! 
The hugely popular NUEA Script Reading program returns with a vengeance this month and we're looking for actors ASAP!  We'll be casting two original TV pilots to be read at the Open Fist Theatre Thurs, June 19th as well as 3 - 4 other scripts to be read over the course of the next year. These are table readings of scripts generated from the NUEA Writer's Group.  They are in front of an audience, free and open to the general public.  There are no auditions and no rehearsals.  We cast solely from headshots and  resumes.  Actors get the script ahead of time and are expected to prepare their roles. 

In order to participate you must be a current NUEA member.
Please submit either by sending your headshot and resume to:
