The role
Who they’re looking for
Any Actor’s Equity (AEA) member may schedule an appointment; any non-equity actor may walk in and be added to a waitlist.
Playing age, Equity, understudy… what do these mean?
Playing age is how old a character appears, which may differ from your own age. Equity is the actors’ union; check each theatre’s eligibility rules. An understudy learns a role to perform when the main actor is unavailable.
