Tara Rubin Casting, one of the busiest casting agencies on Broadway, is changing its name to The TRC Company as Rubin hands over leadership to casting associates Claire Burke, Kevin Metzger-Timson, Xavier Rubiano and Peter Van Dam.
Rubin will continue to serve as the office’s Casting Director and consultant.
“When I started my company in 2001, I hoped to create an environment where actors felt valued, respected and were treated with courtesy,” said Rubin. “As we grew, I was fortunate to collaborate with talented people who shared these values. It’s been an honor to highlight the work of Claire, Kevin, Xavier and Peter over the past few years and I’m proud to designate them to lead the company into our next chapter.”
In a joint statement, Burke, Metzger-Timson, Rubiano and Van Dam said, “We are honored and excited to lead the next chapter of this company, which has been run with unwavering excellence by our mentor and friend Tara Rubin. Louis DiPaolo, Spencer Gualdoni, Olivia Paige West, and Frankie Ramirez are dedicated, talented casting associates and we are so happy to have them continue with us at The TRC Company. Together, along with Tara and our esteemed colleague Merri Sugarman, we are excited to collaborate with new and established artists in bringing their vision to life.”
In addition to Broadway, The TRC Company casts Off Broadway, national tours, regional theater, film and TV.
Among the office’s current and upcoming Broadway projects are Dead Outlaw, BOOP! The Musical, Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, Left on Tenth, The Outsiders, Six and Aladdin.
