AUDITION REQUIREMENTS & PROCEDURES

•  Actors must be 18 years of age or older.

•  Actors will have two minutes total to perform, strictly enforced. You may use your time however you like. Common choices are to do two very short contrasting selections, or one longer piece of contrasting nature (serious/comic or classic/contemporary, for example). You may also choose to sing in addition to your monologue(s).

•  If you choose to sing, we will provide an accompanist between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM Saturday,  May 31st.  Singers are required to bring a photocopy of their music, in their key, bound in a three-ring binder, legible and easy for pianist to turn pages. 

•  Please bring 30 copies of your headshot with your resume trimmed to size and glued or stapled to the back (i.e., both items facing outward; do not put them in folders or plastic sleeves; do not include reviews or video/audio tapes). Make certain that your contact phone number (home or mobile or service, but not your agent’s) is on your resume and is correct. 

•  Auditions are by appointment only. Representatives from all theater companies will be in attendance, and you will be auditioning for all at the same time. Each company will schedule its own callbacks for specific shows. If you are not familiar with these theaters/companies, please check their websites or look at the listings in the newspaper or other media to get an idea of their repertoire.

•  You will receive notice of your audition time via email. If you would like to receive your response via US Mail, please send us a SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE via mail with your complete application. We will schedule the appointments within quarter-hour blocks. No audition appointments will be made by telephone.

•  On the day of your audition, bring your headshots/resumes with you. Upon arriving at Stages, check in with the audition coordinator at least fifteen minutes before your appointment.

•  At the time of your audition, state your name and your monologue selection(s) (play and character only).  Do not give background or "set the scene." There are chairs in the audition space that you may use but it is recommended that you do not bring additional props. Your audition will be timed and you will be stopped at the end of two minutes.

•  Please be early for your audition. If you miss your appointment, you will not be worked in. We will make every effort to stay on schedule.

•  If you cannot make your appointment, call 713-527-0220 x317 to cancel.
