Here’s what actors said about previous years' events:
The TRU audition event is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of the New York acting scene. ~Christopher Heffron, ‘07
TRU is a classy and amazing group to belong to! Their audition day was run with the utmost professionalism. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to get his/her work seen! ~Katie Yamulla, ‘07
The 2007 event was truly an amazing experience: quite empowering and one which provided various work opportunities/contacts. The way the event was organized and handled was stellar. The only reason why I cannot attend the 2008 event is because I’ll be working on a Broadway show. ~Tony Chiroldes, ‘07
The TRU staff was so great, running a punctual, but very professional audition. ~Linda Evans, ‘07
To be seen by a crowd of auditors for the same price I pay to be seen by one at other venues is very appealing and very cost effective. ~ Michael Fawcett, ‘06
This by far was one of the best audition opportunities. To be able to do your stuff and have that many people see you in one shot is something that actors desperately need. So, I thank you. And I could not believe how affordable you made it for all of us! Truly wonderful, with wonderful people as well. Thanks, it was a delight. ~ Rachel Axelrod, '05
Everyone on your staff was fantastically supportive and made the process enjoyable. TRU is just an amazing, amazing organization... one that I have found immense opportunities through, in addition to finding a sense of unity among all of us struggling artists out there. Bravo! ~ Patricia Runcie, '05
I'm an actress who is new to the New York area. I sincerely thank you for giving me (and so many others) the opportunity to get in front of so many casting people. For someone in my position this was an excellent way to get myself out there. THANK YOU! ~ Setor E. Attipoee, '05
