Austin Pendleton and the "long arc"

The Finale (for now)

In this final episode of A Streetcar Named Rejection, Andrew and Catherine discuss the highlights from the past season, thoughts on the future, and of course, their artistic inspiration. Join us one last time as they navigate the ins and outs for early-career actors. Thank you for sticking with us on this wild, lovely journey. Until next time.

Austin Pendleton and the "long arc"

From acting in films such as My Cousin Vinny, A Beautiful Mind, and Catch-22 to directing Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton in The Little Foxes (while simultaneously working as an acting teacher and playwright), Austin Pendleton does it all. In this episode of ASNR, Catherine and Andrew sit down with Austin to discuss his acting career, having eight monologues at the ready, how actors really have no control whether they get the part, and how one must always think in the long arc as an artist.

Casting with Kate Lumpkin

Kate Lumpkin is a badass casting director who does it all: casting, coaching, personal shopper, nacho expert and so much more. Join Andrew and Catherine as they talk with Kate about her casting company, her specific advice for actors entering the business today, and how EPA days are her favorite days. A note: West Wing fans shouldn't miss this episode. #LetLumpkinBeLumpkin

New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

We are taking a bit of a field trip this week. Join Catherine and Andrew as they journey to Lincoln Center for the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. We talk about how we made the appointment at the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive, what steps you take once you arrive at the library, and how this archive is such a fantastic resource for all actors. And of course, we end with a nice artistic inspiration. Horses for all!

Social Media for Actors

How are you using social media as an actor? How do you promote your own "personal brand"? What are some ways to utilize hashtags and DMs to connect with other artists? Join Catherine and Andrew as they discuss all of these questions and so much more on this episode of ASNR. Obviously, artistic inspiration is included. Don't forget about The Shining.
