THE BIG SHOW follows a family of large, loud ladies who embark on a quest for pop music stardom by auditioning for a new "American Idol" style reality TV show.
These are three big, bold, brassy ladies who can belt like crazy and can rock out dancing on stage. All are Mezzo Sopranos. Must be high belters - up to D comfortably.

Producer: Harbor Entertainment (Fame Becomes Me, All Shook Up)

AEA STAGED READING

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
PAULA Early to Mid-40s. An overweight, energetic soccer mom and tireless cheerleader for her family. She's on a mission to turn this unlikely trio into the greatest girl group in America - and she will stop at nothing until she has achieved that goal.

TERI Late 30s. Paula's overweight lovable slacker younger sister. An underachieving bartender with a rock n' roll past. She would definitely be at home on a Harley. Paula accurately describes Teri's performing style as "Meatloaf with tits".

Kevin McShane from the Commercial Division of Fifi Oscard
Kevin is freelancing with several past attendees

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT COMMERCIAL AGENT EVENT WITH KEVIN MCSHANE -
Monday, March 10th at 6pm
From Kevin McShane:
I am always impressed with the caliber of Jagger Kaye's students. Its
obvious that he takes the time to teach them both the practical
business as well as the rudiments of what makes an interesting
performance or audition. As someone who is still out there himself
auditioning and working, Jagger brings a practical working man's
perspective to his classes and that is truly unique
Kevin McShane
Owner
Fifi Oscard Agency

~~~~~

This Commercial Event is only open to those that have taken one of my
Commercial Intensives ONLY (next one is on Sunday Feb 24)

Here are just a few that enjoyed our past events:
I am a working actress . I take Jagger's seminars to help me keep my
skills up up to par- and to meet top notch industry people. Jagger's
seminars are excellent- they are well run, small , informative ,
supportive-- and the price is the best in the industry that I know
of!. For me- they get results. I met Kevin McShane through a Jagger
worksop- I am now freelancing with Mr. McShane
Kathy Terrill

Thank YOU!!! I had so much fun the whole time (never thought that was
possible on a seminar). I felt completely comfortable to go in front
of Kevin because of the way you prepared us. Can't wait to do it
again!
THANK YOU!
Julia Price

Hey Jagger
I loved the seminar. The best part was being able to do it in front
of you first, almost like a mini dress rehearsal, and than being able
to do it with him. It really relaxed my nerves and I was able to be
myself. You will be seeing me in your seminars for sure! I'll think
about the classes.
Thank you soooo much,
Karen Summerton

ActorsFirstNY and www.AffordableActingClasses.com are proud to
announce that 25 year agent Kevin McShane from the Commercial Division
of Fifi Oscard (NYC agency) is ready to meet you at an upcoming event

All previous Commercial Events SOLD-OUT in advance
already so register for this ASAP

What will make this Commercial Event different from others is the fact
that all actors registered will be prepped before meeting Kevin &
performing in front of him.

In discussing this event with Kevin he stressed how many actors are
not fully prepared to meet him (from a reading standpoint) so he was
excited that someone with a Commercial Instructional background will
be prepping everyone before and giving the actors the best chance to
showcase themselves

The one-day event is Monday, March 10th at 6pm at The Producers
Club Theaters - 358 W. 44th St

Again this is open to only those that have taken my Commercial
Intensive in the past as a way to say THANK YOU (next Commercial
Intensive is Sun 2/24)

The cost for 1 hour of prep work with myself (Jagger Kaye), a 20
minute Q&A and a read and meet with Commercial Agent Kevin McShane
from Fifi Oscard is only an Affordable - $39

I'm excited to offer this to AFNYers and in particular those that
participated in my successful Commercial Intensives and both Kevin & I
want to give you the best opportunity to impress so we arranged the
unique 1hr prep prior

Contact Jagger at aac.seminars@gmail.com & please remember this is
only open to past Commercial Intensive students as a THANK YOU

Limited enrollment ... ACT NOW!
