Our auditions are open to everyone. Anyone who submits will be seen and considered by our creative team.

​

In regards to the breakdowns below, the character descriptions are taken from their respective scripts and should be considered as a starting point,  they are not carved in stone.  We seek to reflect an accurate representation of the world we live in; we fully intend to cast broadly in regards to race/ethnicity, gender and identity, body type, and ability.

 

While we appreciate characters may be listed and written in a binary format with he/she pronouns, we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to submit for any roles they most identify with. 

 

All candidates will be required to provide an accurate headshot, an up-to-date resume and will be asked to submit a self taped audition from pre-selected material. You will have the opportunity to highlight roles of interest to you in your application.
