On Wednesday, September 17, the students at Hollywood Arts spent the day with visiting members of the William Morris Talent Agency. Students were paired up with William Morris employees for one-on-one workshops focusing on marketing and self-promotion. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a lengthy Q&A session with the William Morris employees, who stayed afterward for an Acting Improvisation class. It was an incredibly successful session and an excellent learning opportunity for both the students at Hollywood Arts and their new friends at William Morris.
