Audition Information
General Auditions for Equity Actors
ACT holds two days of auditions annually for local Equity actors, usually sometime between December 1 and February 28. Note: General auditions for the 2010 Season have already taken place.
Equity members from outside Seattle may request an individual audition at the theatre if they are visiting the city. Please contact Margaret Layne, Casting Director, by phone at (206) 292-7660 ext. 1226, or via e-mail at laynem@acttheatre.org.
Out of town general auditions are scheduled annually in office and/or liaison cities per the LORT-Equity contract, and are announced on the Actors' Equity Association website.
General Auditions for Non-Union Actors
ACT holds general auditions for non-union actors quarterly on the First Thursday of the month from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Dates for quarterly First Thursdays in 2010 are: March 4, June 3, September 2 and December 2.
We see the first 50 non-Equity actors to sign up, approximately 10 auditioners per half hour. Only one audition is allowed in a six-month period unless requested by ACT's Casting Director.
To participate, you should schedule an appointment in person, in advance, by coming to our Ticket Office lobby at 700 Union Street. An appointment book is available at the reception desk during regular business hours (9am - 5 pm, Monday thru Friday). Just pencil in your name and contact information in your preferred audition time period.
Audition appointments are three minutes long; presentations should not exceed two and a half (2.5) minutes. Please prepare two short and contrasting monologues: either one classical and one contemporary OR two contrasting contemporary pieces. No accompanist will be present, but auditioners who wish to sing are welcome to perform a cappella.
Youth Actor Opportunities
Because of the nature of ACT's repertory, opportunities for youth actors in the subscription season are rare. However, seven roles for non-union Youth Actors (under 14) are available annually in ACT's holiday production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, a commitment lasting from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve. An open call audition for these roles is held in late September or early October. Additional information will be posted to this website, as well as on the audition boards at Theatre Puget Sound.

We do not accept unsolicited scripts.
