Theatre Project SCV teams with Origin Talent for seminar.

The SCV Theatre Project, in association with Origin Talent, will present a young performers seminar, “Navigating, Beginning and Becoming a Working Actor in the Entertainment Industry,” on June 28 at Valencia High School.

The seminar will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., registration required. Cost is $75 per student, with pre-registration available online at www.theatrescv.com.

Leading the seminar will be Annie Schwartz, co-owner of Origin Talent, a boutique talent agency that specializes in building careers, theatrically and commercially. With 30 years in the entertainment industry, Annie has developed and worked with the most talented actors, producers, directors and writers in our industry today.

Students will also work with casting director and acting teacher Michele Juskowitz, who has more than 15 years of experience and work on films such as “Freedom Writers,” “Phenomenon” and “The Sunchaser,” as well as several network drama and sitcom pilots.

Also presenting will be Mark Salyer and Andrea Slominski, founders and co–producing artistic directors of The SCV Theatre Project with more than 45 years of combined professional theatre experience that includes acting, directing and producing.
