Theater & Acting - August 2007

Ok this is quite similar to my last question but it's an updated version so this question is more specific.

THE STORY:
I have a backstage job at the moment touring with a show with a really good company. I have just got an Xmas acting job with another company. The contracts overlap by 3 days. I have asked the new job to move rehearsal dates etc but there's no way.

THE UPDATE:
I have had a proper chat with my current employers. The options are:

1. Finish the contract with them (they are quite a good company and its touring theatres, not schools) and lose out on 4 months Xmas work and POSSIBLY be asked back next year (to do a job in a skin costume - i.e. dressed as an animal onstage!)

OR

2. Write a letter to my current employer terminating the contract, leave my job 3 days early to start my first acting job (touring schools), which is 4 months long. Then definitely NOT be asked back by my current employer next year and possibly be stuck for work.

I'm VERY torn :(

I have been in school play, made up play with my friends and also auditioned for John Robert Powers..but I didn't do it because it was a little too expensive.

Im an aspiring modeling student. I was accepted in my first interview with the JC center in Tulsa, OK. But I have been hearing disturbing rumours that they dont actually find you jobs and they charge way too much. Does any one know if this is true and if it is, can someone tell me the agency with cheapest training (if any) and most effective in bookings.
thanks.

who can please give me some site/s where I can find video clips, or sample of musics that can be use for musical play (take note: like an opera, palying by lea salonga, and with voice projection of the characters)

***this theatre musical play will be use on our school activity contest. (who can please suggest to me a good idea, of what should be our theme for our musical play?! there must be main characters, and we want that our music background will be assorted) :-)

I've been an actor for a long time and I've talked to many professional actors, both famous and not so famous, about this. Very few say they're in show business for the fun of it. Perhaps this is idealistic on my part, but I only do it because I enjoy it. I've made some money acting and that's always nice, but if I didn't like it I wouldn't do it. Professionals talk about the 'work' of acting, and getting the next 'job', which is fine, but nobody every says something like, "This is the funnest job I've ever had!" Yes, acting is hard work and it takes comittment and dedication and it must be taken seriously, which I totally agree with. I'm very professional when I'm working on a show. I'm just curious as to what others have to say about this. In my mind, it is possible to do this as a profession and have fun at it too. Like my Grandmother always said, "Find something that you love to do and make that your career and you'll never have to work a day in your life!"....so I did....

I found out the phone number and street address of the casting director that casts one of the shows that I like on tv and I would like to try to get some sort of small guest part, but I don't know if I need to bring headshots or something because I've never gone to any kind of audition before. Please help me
