CANTON — Logan Route is busy working hard to make his dreams come true.
Route recently auditioned for ARTS International, which stands for Applause Rising Talent Showcase.
For more than 25 years, the agency helps adults and youth aspiring to be actors, models, dancers, and singers cut through all of the red-tape in the industry to find healthy success, according to its website.
“We find Agents, Castings, Managers, and Producers that we trust and have a long-lasting relationship with to help launch the careers of our talented participants,” it reads online. “Twice a year, we bring these top industry decision makers out to an event featuring our participants in a fully produced international talent showcase. The ARTS team and family is there every step of the way from auditions to the show, offering direction and education to prepare our participants for the opportunity of a lifetime.
“Usually I feel very nervous but I was very confident in this audition and I felt very good about it,” said Route.
He auditioned at the Holiday Inn in Williamsport last Friday evening, April 16.
“Then I got a callback and went to Scranton Sunday,” said Route. “They said I’d get results in 24 hours but I ended up getting the results that night! I was freaking out.”
After his informational callback in Scranton, Route found out he was flying to Los Angeles to continue this path for a five-day workshop with the agency.
The trip will be from Dec. 15-19, which will be five days of workshops, performances, interviews in front of agents from all over the country.
“It’s for singing, acting, modeling, and dancing,” said Route, “I’m going to pursue the singing and acting portion.”
The trip is going to cost roughly $3,000 to finance.
“So, I am planning on doing some sort of raffle and I am going to ask if any local businesses or places I’ve performed want to donate something like a gift card to raise money for my arts international trip to Los Angeles in December,” said Route.
