To Whom It May Concern,

Upon seeking out this casting call for ​Farragut North​, I immediately felt inspired to apply.
As a young actor beginning her journey, a casting call for two incredibly driven and smart
female characters carries instant appeal, and I would be thrilled to be a part of the project.
As a recent graduate from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, I had the
pleasure of majoring in theater as an acting and performance studies concentration. During
my time as an undergraduate, I was fortunate enough to perform every semester, including
my semester abroad in Arezzo, Italy, where I studied physical theater and Commedia
dell’arte intensively. I also served as a classical verse teaching assistant during my senior
year, as well as a guest pedagogue to Muhlenberg’s acting I and II courses. During my
undergraduate career, I was also granted the opportunity to collaborate on the second
installment of professor Holly Cate’s Henry IV tetralogy entitled ​O War​ at The Lark, in
which Ellen McLoughlin read the role of Warwick.
Following my May 2019 graduation, I have performed in the Resident Acting Company’s
staged reading of ​A Bold Stroke for a Wife.​ I intend to continue to pursue acting as a career,
and this opportunity was a wonderful impetus as a start. I have felt incredibly fortunate at
the opportunities I have had both in undergrad and out, but I am also incredibly driven to
continue my path as an, albeit young, but successful actor.
Farragut North​ and 5th Floor Acting Company embody precisely where I am and aspire to
be at this stage in my career, and I very much admire and appreciate the initiative and
understanding of working with and around survival jobs. I have attached my headshot and
resume and am eager to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any
questions.

Sincerely,
Julia Baker
