Bi-coastal ATB Talent Agency is establishing a presence in Chicago with the launch of a new theatrical division, marking the company’s latest expansion under owner Todd M. Eskin.
Founded in 2008, the agency represents actors working across film, television and theater, with existing operations in Los Angeles and New York. The addition of a Chicago division extends its reach into another major production and performance market as the company continues to grow its roster.
Chicago-based agent Lauren Walker has joined ATB as a TV and film agent and will lead the new division. She will continue to work across the agency’s bi-coastal network while building a roster of Chicago-based talent. The office is expected to focus on theatrical representation, including film, television and stage, with clients gaining access to opportunities across multiple markets.
ATB’s model centers on a smaller, curated roster, with agents working closely with clients on long-term career development. The Chicago division will follow that same approach as it begins signing local actors.
The move adds to the list of agencies with a footprint in Chicago, where a combination of ongoing television production and a well-established theater community continues to support a deep pool of working actors.
ATB Talent Agency is currently reviewing submissions from Chicago-based performers as it builds out its local roster.
