Publications

OLE Founder Alan Simon co-authored CallBack: The Young Performers Guide: How to Break Into Show Business, an invaluable guide for every child or teenager (and his/her parents) who has dreams of becoming a star. Now out of print, this comprehensive resource contained short articles, personal anecdotes, and advice by well-known young performers of the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Anthony Michael Hall, Allison Smith, and Josh Saviano. Articles covered topics such as overcoming stage fright, eating well, legal issues, how to get an effective headshot, parent managers, and scene study.
