Casting Nation’s Newest Partner!

July 1st, 2009
Casting Nation, the newest and best casting site on the web, is extremely pleased to announce a cross promotional partnership with one of the world’s premier acting schools, The Beverly Hills Playhouse. For those unfamiliar with the BHP, it is a 40 year old school in Los Angeles with a reputation for training actors who are not only talented, but also bring an unparalleled professionalism to the stage and set.
 
This partnering was created to let the industry know that when it’s dealing with Casting Nation, it’s dealing with industry professionals whose only concerns are getting the right actors seen for the right jobs and getting that done with integrity.
 
Casting Nation will be the primary recommendation for online protfolios for BHP students and in return Casting Nation will be recommending the Playhouse’s classes in LA, NY and San Francisco (opening in September 2009). It is hoped that in the near future they will also be co-sponsoring seminars around the country.
 
The BHP has trained some of the finest and biggest names in entertainment and these same artists have won every kind of award imaginable from Tonys to Emmys to Oscars.  Michelle Pfieffer, George Clooney, Giovanni Ribisi, Jenna Elfman, Jorge Garcia…these are just a few of the dozens of actors who have studied at the Playhouse.  To learn more about the BHP, please go to www.bhplayhouse.com
