Acting in Chicago?

Question

I just moved to Chicago and I work a full-time job in Retail Management (my promotions kind of spun out of control and all of a sudden Im chasing that 50-60 hours a week) but my passion is in acting. In moving to Chicago, I left behind my network of directors and compatriots and have not been able to re-establish that here yet. Im looking for some help in where to get reasonably priced headshots done, and what a good way is to start getting auditions/representation here. I've pursued a lot of my own avenues, but I figured I would throw it to the experts because I really want this and any additional info would be fantastic. So PLEASE help out a 24 year old actor chasing a dream in a new big city!!

Hey Dave,

Here are some web sites to help you out. There are generic agencies on the web, and 2 Chicago specific searches ( last two URLs posted here), for Head Shots, and Auditions.
