Answer 1

Let's see - you have done THREE WHOLE SHOWS and you are looking fro an agent - just because somebody said so???  You are SO FAR from being prepared!  An agent only gets PAID if you WORK - and nobody is going to hire you  - YET!  Finish your education - including a college degree in theater - and then ask this question again.

Answer 2

Don't rush it.

Check with those who have agents. Look in the trade magazines.

I hope you are anxious, and that "I can't wait" does not mean you will give up quick
