The Network Austin Mixer is pleased to present our 4th Annual Talent Showcase featuring YOU on Wednesday, December 12th!!!
Just complete the form below.
Central Texas is rich with as-yet-unseen talent. Here’s your chance to show us all what you’ve got, so don’t hold back. But don’t delay, because only the first 25 completed & confirmed entries will make the show. And the deadline for submissions will be here before you know it: Friday, November 30th.
Anyone age 12 or older is invited to sing, dance, play an instrument, do stand-up, a monologue, or whatever talent you wish to showcase. Just keep in mind that young people will be in the room, so keep it “G-rated”. If your act includes music, on-screen visuals, or any special equipment, then bring it early on the day of performance so it can be set up and ready to roll. And be aware that at 3 minutes you’ll get the hook, so keep it short & sweet.
Fill in the form below to submit yourself. Afterward, if you have any change of plans whatsoever, then contact Donise L. Hardy, CSA ASAP. And make sure your email program recognizes email address donise@acastingplace.net in case we contact you with any additional questions at any time.

Hollywood has studios galore. NYC has the island of Manhattan. Atlanta has Tyler Perry & Pinewood Studios.
We have New Republic Studios.
It’s this sort of entertainment production infrastructure that will take Texas to the top of our industry. And it’s available to us all.
Formerly Spiderwood Studios, the newly renovated New Republic Studios is a sprawling creative campus on the outskirts of Austin featuring 4 sound stages, green rooms, dressing rooms, offices, a kitchen, a conference room, and a diversely spectacular 200+ acre backlot on the Colorado River for producing pretty much any entertainment project imaginable.
Don’t just dream big, make it big. Afterall, we are Texas.
Are you involved in making a web series, television show, video game, movie, AR/VR/XR? This Texas gem offers space, facilities, and amenities for all sizes and kinds of projects. Not a few major movies & TV shows have been filmed there, along with smaller productions such as by contestants in the Austin 48-Hour Film Project. Equipped with lighting, sound, green screens, a cyclorama wall, and so much more, if you can dream it, you can make it here.
