VisionQuest
Theater frequently holds open auditions. Click on the title of the
play that you would like more information about:
Hamlet
& Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
We
found this great play: It's called "Hamlet" by William
Shakespeare. Trust us, it's good. Old, but still packs a punch.
We'll start rehearsing it in February.Looking for work in summer-stock productions, touring productions, Renaissance fairs, non-equity and equity theatres, Shakespeare festivals, theme parks, dinner theatre and outdoor dramas?
Planning to enroll in a graduate level college theatre program?
Want to audition for dozens of producers at one time? Want a rare opportunity to meet lots of producers and directors in the business? Make contacts? Get yourself known?
These regional, combined auditions are a low-cost way to do exactly that. Every year, in February or March, each of these combined auditions are attended by dozens of producers who are looking for talented actors and actresses to perform in live, summertime productions. Some offer year-round positions, school touring, apprentice and intern positions as well. Graduate school programs use many of these auditions to enroll students.
Many of the organizations offer, for a small fee, a variety of workshops in addition to auditions. These workshops can be attended by those who audition and those who do not audition.
Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the the organizations that interests you. Request information about their auditions and an application. Since the auditions generally occur in February and March, write for information and applications in early December.
The regional auditions listed below are not for beginners new to the stage . They are for experienced, talented, skilled performers. Most (not all) require that you be at least 18 years old to apply and be available to work all summer long. Almost all are open to non-Equity as-well-as Equity performers. There are always many more applicants then audition spots available. APPLY EARLY!!! These are extremely competitive auditions. Applicants are screened. Many don't get in!
We
didn't think that was enough, so we're going to do Stoppard's "Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead" too, in repertory. Same actors with
the same roles, same blocking. Booya!
