11th Annual Meals For Monologues

• November 9, 2016

• With the holiday season upon us, we are thrilled to be hosting our 11th Annual Meals For Monologues. This is such a wonderful way to give back to the community and see Chicago’s talented actors at the same time. This year will be even more exciting as it will be the fifth year that Meals For Monologues will be a nationwide Casting Society of America event, with casting offices throughout the country participating!

  
  We will be devoting a full day to seeing all the actors that want to participate. We will audition everyone who brings in 2 non-perishable food items for our food drive. Our open call is going to be Wednesday, November 9th from 10am-12pm, and from 1pm-3pm. Please be sure to arrive BEFORE 3pm so that we are able to see everyone by 5 o’clock! If you arrive after 3pm, we cannot guarantee that you’ll be seen.

  
  We will host the event out of our studio (2558 W. 16th St., 5th Floor, Chicago, IL 60608). We’re hoping this year will be the biggest yet!

  
  

  Thanks!
  The ladies at Claire Simon Casting
