Always Do Your Research

As an actor, you often have to go over some hurdles to get places. Invariably when searching casting notices you have to be careful so as not to send your stuff out to a reality show in disguise or a low budget vampire themed soft core porn. Or worse yet- the religious shows.

I read a casting notice today for a new play that looked really good. After I did some research on the theatre company (their website was listed on the damn notice), here's what I found in the "about us" section:

"Diamikes Management Ministries was birth through by Divine Illumination! Having being exposed to the world of entertainment from the secular to the spiritual side, we saw the need to not only provide a forum for the emerging artist, but to foster both talents & gifts that had been given. DMM, is not about exploiting the talents of its artist, nor to capitalize on their gifts, rather it's designed to be the bridge between ones aspirations to dreams that becomes a reality"
