Little Stars, A Two-for-One Workshop for Mamas and Starlets

DO NOT miss this if you’ve got little ones in the business, or if you want to get your kids started in screen acting. This is the best city on earth to launch an acting career, and we’ve got expert advice to help your babies reach stardom quickly and safely.

Acting Coach, Alisha Kosaka will offer two separate, age-specific workshops on the acting business, first for kids 4 to 7 year-olds, and then for kids 8-16 year-olds. While kiddos play, Alisha will cover topics like: How to get into the business; How to get ahead in the business; and Coaching techniques and benefits.

 She’ll also host ten minutes of Q&A time, so write out your questions before you come. Afterward, your child can take a mini-acting class with Alisha for an additional fee of $30, while you mingle with the other momagers,  and listen to Jackie Elam, CEO of Parent First and Always, tell us about how to protect our kids in show business.
