What to prepare
Help with headshots, résumés, and self-tapes
A headshot is a clear photo of you. An acting résumé lists your performance experience and training. A self-tape is a recorded audition video. Sides are the short script excerpts the theatre asks you to perform. Follow this theatre’s specific instructions.
How to apply
Sign up, then email your headshot and resume. The audition consists of improvised scenes; nothing needs to be prepared. Email to let them know if available for more than one slot.
