Holly Buczek is no stranger to auditions, having been in the business as a performer since she was 5 years old! After graduating from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and while performing at Vital Theatre Company, Holly discovered her passion for casting when the artistic team asked her to step in and cast Vital Theatre’s award winning seasons of new, family musicals. Her enthusiasm for her work at Vital and drive to advance garnered her an internship at Tara Rubin Casting and an associate position with Michael Cassara for his 2011 Summer Season.
Branching out on her own as HDB Casting, she has a keen eye for exceptional performers, a unique talent for “thinking outside of the box” and a razor sharp memory for people and faces. Holly prides herself on creating a casting environment that allows performers to be uninhibited and bring all of their talent and personality to the table.
Holly is currently the Casting Director in residence with Musicals Tonight!, Berenstain Bears, Live with Matt Murphy Productions and Vital Theatre Company. She recently completed a 2 year Associate Position with JDC working on the national touring companies of Annie, Mamma Mia!, 42nd Street, Bring It On, Wizard of Oz, and Joseph…
