Happy Tuesday, UTD!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends! My entire household was sick over the holiday so I am extra thankful for health, delivery soup, and endless streaming of Moana for an under-the-weather-toddler. It brings a whole meaning to the song "You're Welcome" IYKYK 🪸
I am also extra thankful that the SAG-AFTRA strike has come to a resolution and that production has resumed. The LAW & ORDER, FBI, and ONE CHICAGO franchises all called "action" yesterday and started to roll cameras. Countless more film & TV productions are a week or two away from joining their ranks.
Casting has resumed and all eyes are on a busy, busy, 2024 production season! I expect this to be much like after COVID where production will continue well into the Summer in order to make up for lost time and get a head start on the following season of programming. You can find the most updated production and casting information on our Projects Now Casting page.
Don't wait for the New Year! Make sure you are ready now! To help you jump back into the audition and production pool, Annie is offering active UTDA members a discount on her 3-Part Private Consultation! Read more on how Annie works and all that you receive with the 3-Part Private Consultation.
Let's enjoy the holidays, but also look forward to an exciting and productive new year!
Create a great week! 🕊ï¸
