INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may be able to audition for a Broadway show if you live in a major city which is hosting auditions, but if you really want to make it on Broadway, you should live in New York.  You will be more available to your agent and have many more auditions available to you.  New York can be very expensive.  Be sure that you have savings to last you for several months once you arrive.  The average monthly rent on a 900 square foot unit in New York City is  $2815.  Add utilities and the higher cost of food, and you can plan on needing at least $3500 per month. Many people live on the outskirts of the city in Queens or Brooklyn, and some even live across the river in New Jersey.  These can be cheaper options than living in Manhattan, and the public transit system makes the commute quick, easy and cheap. Actor’s Equity Association, also referred to as Equity and AEA, is a union for actors in America.  It’s purpose is to provide protection for the professional actor and enforce guidelines regarding pay, breaks, insurance and other professional needs.  On the other hand, many professional theater companies will only use Equity actors, especially in leading roles, as a way to weed out actors with less experience.  In order to join you must first be eligible.  You may be able to join if you are cast in a production under an Equity contract. You may be allowed to join Equity if you are a member of one of their sister unions, SAG-AFTRA, AGMA, AGVA, or GIAA.  You must have been a member for at least a year, remain in good standing and have performed a significant role under their jurisdiction. You can register as an Equity Membership Candidate, or EMC, to earn credit toward membership by working at an Equity theater.  The cost to register is $100, and you must work at least 50 weeks in an Equity house to become eligible to apply for membership. Broadway stages often only work with talent agencies when they are looking to cast important roles for a Broadway show.  Using a talent agent helps streamline their process, since the agent will knows their actors and can submit only the people who they know could fit the role.  Having a talent agent is going to be necessary to getting in the door of a Broadway audition if you want a lead role.  Submit your headshot and resume to agents in New York City along with a cover letter. Ask other actors which agent they use and if you can use that actor as a reference in your cover letter. Invite agents to come see you perform when you are in a show. Your performance onstage is very important, but your behavior off-stage is just as important if not more important.  Broadway professionals and casting agents all work in the same circles.  It is likely that someone who has not worked with you will consult others asking about their experience working with you before they offer you a role.  Protect your reputation by being on time, following direction, and being respectful to everyone on the cast and crew. Emotions are a large part of theatrical work.  Do your best to keep the emotions in the performance and stay logical and collected when you are dealing with others off-stage.

SUMMARY: Make the move to New York City. Join Actor’s Equity Association. Acquire a talent agent. Work hard and get along with your directors and fellow actors.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you can remove the doors to paint them, leaving them in the door frame makes the job easier. Protect your floors by spreading a plastic tarp out under the doors. You can purchase a tarp at a home improvement store or wherever else paint supplies are sold. Cardboard and other absorbent scrap material can be used as a makeshift tarp. If your doors have any marks or dents, now is the time to take care of them. Rub the spot to wear away the material around it. Keep doing this until the damage disappears, then sand the surrounding areas to blend them in and smooth out the finish. If you still have trouble with these spots, try using rougher sandpaper or an orbital sander. Lightly rub the sandpaper against the doors to even them out and ready them for new paint. Go over every surface, including ones you treated with heavier sandpaper. The doors should look smooth and even once you are done. When sanding, always start with the coarser sandpaper. Then use the finer sandpaper to smooth the surface. Fill a bucket with about 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. Mix in about a tablespoon of an all-purpose dish soap. Your regular dish soap works fine unless it is designed for harsher stains like grease. The water temperature doesn't matter too much. To stay safe, keep it cool or lukewarm. Dip a clean microfiber cloth into the soapy water. Get the cloth damp but not dripping. Squeeze out any excess water first, then thoroughly wipe the doors to remove all of the grime, oil, and sawdust that has accumulated over time. Get another microfiber cloth and go back over the doors. They have to be completely dry. This second pass should finish removing all of the grime that can ruin the paint job. Move onto priming right away while the doors are clean.

SUMMARY:
Lay a tarp under the doors. Buff damaged spots with 120 to 150 medium-grit sandpaper. Smooth the doors with 180 to 220 fine-grit sandpaper. Create a mild cleaning solution with dish soap and water. Dampen a cloth in the solution and wipe down the surface. Dry off the doors with a clean microfiber cloth.
