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
Submit a YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive link. Include a slate with name and pronouns, and two contrasting contemporary monologues of at least one minute each: one dramatic and one comedic. A brief response about what interests you about the play is optional.
