About the Event

Los Angeles is called the "Creative Capital of the World", because one in every six residents work in a creative industry. If this city is on your radar to launch a performing arts career, learn all the tips of how to network, open doors in Hollywood and live in "L.A.",  THE motion picture and performing arts hub.

Mother-Son duo, Cheryl and Ellington, have decades of L.A. experience, from both film and stage, in the "triple threat" world of dance, vocals, and acting- plus the thriving music scene. They share how to land an audition, navigate the work environment on stage and on set, and success in career longevity. Bring your questions and be ready for "lights, camera, action!"

This class is recommended for ages 15+
