If you’re interested in auditioning for next years CBS Comedy Showcase but haven’t a clue what is expected of you at the audition, this is your opportunity to hear what CBS VP of Casting Fern Orenstein has to say.  A lot of people go into the audition upprepared or prepared but with inappropriate material.  Past showcase particpant Hong Chau will accompany Fern to talk about her experience.  Hong was not in the union when she participated but booked her first role on “How I Met Your Mother” and also got a manager and agent from the showcase.  If interested in attending, please prepare 3 characters.  Make strong choices and think Saturday Night Live.  If you write monologues – make them brief (30 seconds – 1 minute).  This is not a requirement but an opportunity should you want to perform for Fern.
