Don't worry about agents quite yet, and no you don't need them to go to auditions at local theaters. The first thing you should do is make sure you have the personality to become an actor, after that find an acting class and then audition for plays in your area. You'll need an agent as you gain more stature in the public eye. If you're just starting out agents don't want you because you don't have any talent yet.
