SHOWCASE TONIGHT! Casting Director Donna McKenna

Hey everyone!
Matt @ Impossible here.

BIG thank & congrats to all those who attended a fantastic showcase with Aleta Chappelle last night. We got a great response from her and the attendees, and we're looking to top ourselves tonight with ANOTHER HUGE networking seminar.

Casting Director & producer Donna McKenna is joining us for this high profile night, but in addition she's bringing a special guest attached to the film that she's currently casting for, the Director (or Producer) of Under The Influence!! So tonight for the price of one guest you get TWO, and most importantly you get to meet two individuals with tons of behind the camera experience that will help you in your acting career, whether your green or... weathered.

A few seats still available with the lowest Showcase prices in town... you dont want to miss it! So if you're around tonight, give us a call or shoot me an email and we'll get you signed up.

Enjoy.
