There's this really cool opportunity for a Private Casting Consultation with the Casting department from Playwrights Horizons:

"You probably already know about cattle-calls and call-backs, and waiting rooms and sides. You also know that before you get to the stage, you must first get past the casting director. But what takes an audition from being "nice work," to "you've got the job!"? Find out with this personal career consultation with Playwrights Horizons’ Casting Director Alaine Alldaffer and Casting Associate Lisa Donadio. From their perspective on the other side of the table, Alaine and Lisa know what it takes to make your audition pop. To find out priceless insight about how to ace your audition, bid on this exclusive opportunity."

It's an awesome opportunity, and it's a part of this big auction Playwrights Horizons holds annually as a fundraiser, and, looking at this year's listings thus far, they've got this, which is super cool for students and those trying to get work, as well as a lot of cool packages and opportunities that I figured I'd pass on.

It's a worthy cause considering all proceeds from this auction will support the six play/musical season, their awesome theatre development programs, audience development activities, a resident internship program, their Playwrights Horizons Theater School at NYU, and Ticket Central, which is their online box-office system that serves much of off-Bway and is available to the entire performing arts community.

Some of the other notable packages up for bidding include: tickets, dinner, and backstage tours of SISTER ACT (visit with Victoria Clark), CMIYC (visit with Aaron Tveit), ANYTHING GOES (visit with Sutton Foster) ARCADIA, BABY IT'S YOU, MAMMA MIA, JERSEY BOYS, MEMPHIS (visit with Chad Kimball), PHANTOM, ADDAMS FAMILY (visit with Roger Rees); passes and packages for WILLIAMSTOWN THEATRE FESTIVAL, HUMANA THEATRE FEST, O'NEILL THEATRE CENTER (summer season), and a cool Chicago package (with Goodman, Steppenwolf, and Equity Joseph Jefferson Awards tickets).

They've also got a signed Albee play collection, a 30 ROCK set visit with signed swag, and cool Playwrights Horizons items (subscriptions and Artistic Director/Literary staff/Musical Theatre staff-for-a-day's).

Seriously a lot of really cool items and opportunities.
