an audition, talent is expected to remain in town for all callback dates.
Talent is also expected to attend all of their union auditions and
callbacks, unless they have booked out.

BSTAs will be notified when their checks are available for pick up from
our office. If a BSTA prefers payments to be mailed, the BSTA is
responsible to give us a current mailing address. If a BSTA requests a
replacement check because of a lost BSTA check (whether Talent loses the
check or it is lost in the mail), Talent will be responsible to refund us
our bank stop payment charge.

castingfrontier must be updated by BSTA Talent with every booking.

roles or projects they will be submitted for. We DO NOT submit
commercial talent on theatrical projects by request.
