ABOUT The Theater

F.A.Q.s
1. I have to pay to act. No. This is the most common misconception regarding Pro Production Theater. You have to pay to act when you join an acting class. At HFCT, you are paying Pro Production dues that go towards producing a production in which you receive both associate producing and acting credits on. So, you are paying to help produce a play.

2. As long as someone is willing to pay, they can act at the HFCT. This is a false statement. All our plays involve a highly competitive audition process in which we strive to cast the right actors for the roles. Our casting process is vigorous and relentless.

3. What are the benefits of joining a Pro Production? Actors talk constantly about wanting to do their own film or stage play.


This usually doesn’t happen after finding out how much they really cost to produce. Here at HFCT we make it possible to produce your own $12,000 to $20,000 production for as little as $285 and give you the ability to be seen by dozens of industry personnel. Many of our actors build their resumes and find a home in our theater. Many of our testimonials state that by performing in a production at our theater, they were granted an education that no university nor acting class could offer. Our little black box theater in the heart of Hollywood gives our actors endless opportunities to start, build, and watch their careers take flight.

4. Since I am an associate producer I am entitled to make integral decisions and have a say in how the play should be directed? I have the right to question casting and choices the director makes. Absolutely not. By definition, an associate producer is an individual who performs a limited number of producing functions delegated to her/him by a producer, under the direct supervision and control of that producer. Therefore, the producer of the production delegates and makes all decisions. A director should be respected and is the one in charge during rehearsals. Once rehearsals begin, as a Pro Production actor your job is to act and work on the marketing of your show.
