Description:

Dionne is a 30 year old actress in Los Angeles.  She moved here after graduating from a small liberal arts college in the Midwest.  She got with a small theatrical agency and started to book a few co-stars a year.  She did theater around LA for no money but really felt a part of the acting community.  An agent saw her in a show and wooed her away from her agency.  The agent was a bit more aggressive, and Dionne managed to add a few more co-stars to the resume.  She booked her first guest star role after about 5 years and with the rate of auditions coming in was never able to really get any traction.  Her agent got her a few more co-star auditions and she managed to book a recurring co-star as part of the squad room on a cop show.  Now she is 8 years into her journey with 10 co-stars on guest star and a recurring role on her resume.  The only auditions coming to the table are more co-stars.  Does she take them and make a small living as an actor?  Should she say no to the co-star auditions and hold out for the guest stars?  Will there be enough guest star auditions to make it feasible?  Is this the way to build a career?  Lets get into it.
