All events are on a first come first served basis. Space at an event is dictated by the time & date of your Paypal payment.
Only your payment guarantees your spot.

Events are not a job interview or audition. The presence of a casting director, agent, producer or director is not a guarantee of representation or a promise of employment. The sole intent of the event is educational, informative and fun!

Workshops are not job interviews or auditions. The presence of a Casting Director or associate is neither a promise or guarantee of employment or an audition. Contact with an Industry professional solely through an event or workshop in and of itself rarely results in a contract with the guest or the production company they represent.

Payment, Cancellations

All of our events are scheduled in advance, we are not responsible for unforeseen cancellations by the teachers, casting directors, directors, producers or agents. We will do our best to inform you of any schedule changes as soon as possible & credits will be given for any event that is cancelled by Actorswest Management due to schedule changes.

Below is the new Labor Code 1703. We are required to post it. It outlines the cancellation policy. Please know that even though the below information is the "law," we go beyond that. If you have to cancel your spot in a workshop, we refund or provide credit if you contact us by Email or phone 48 hours in advance.
