An agency is simply an agent.....A person who works on your behalf and hundreds of others.....He keeps a file of what you look like...What you can do...e.g... Dance..sing...act..comedien etc. Then, when.for instance a film company, theatre or anyone that wants to put on a show or entertainment of any sorts they telephone the agent telling them what they want.....The agent then looks through his files, and hopefully you may fit the results, and you are hired......The fee is arranged by the agent of which he takes a share of the money earned......There are agencies for hundreds of things. Such as.......Photo pictures. Old type clothes and costumes. Vehicles. Stage props....many things.....So look at your question and answer for....casting, recruitment, booking, & artist angencies.....I hope this answers your question....

agency n. the relationship of a person (called the agent) who acts on behalf of another person, company, or government, known as the principal. "Agency" may arise when an employer (principal) and employee (agent), asks someone to make a delivery or names someone as an agent in a contract. The basic rule is that the principal becomes responsible for the acts of the agent, and the agent's acts are like those of the principal (Latin: respondeat superior). Factual questions arise such as: was the agent in the scope of employment when he/she ran down the little child, got drunk and punched someone, or sold impure wheat? There is also the problem of whether the principal acted in such a way as to make others believe someone was his agent--this is known as "apparent" or "ostensible" authority. When someone who is or is not an employee uses company business cards, finance documents, or a truck with the company logo, such use gives apparent authority as an agent
