  • NOTE: We will be operating at a very strict, limited capacity. Please arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled session. Please arrive as “audition-ready” as possible, as changing areas and warm-up space will be limited. Once you are released, you may be asked to leave the building to allow space for the next session’s attendees.
 
VIDEO SUBMISSIONS will be accepted by those unable to attend in person, but are likely to be considered only after in-person auditions have commenced. It is always best to be seen in person, if you are able.

• Sides and submission details will be posted by early February. Please continue checking the Theatre By The Sea website for further updates.

• Audition notices will also be posted to Playbill, etc., prior to any calls and/or video submission requests.

NYC AUDITION DETAILS
 
ECC and EPA  
Equity Chorus Calls and Equity Principal Auditions are scheduled through Actor’s Equity. Equity members may visit the Actor portal for more information. Job notices will be posted to AEA, Playbill, etc., approximately 1-2 weeks before each call. An Equity monitor will be provided.
 
PRINCIPAL APPOINTMENTS
Actors interested in Principal roles should submit via Actors Access to the appropriate Breakdown. Due to limited time, walk-ins will not be seen at these auditions. If you do not receive an appointment via Actors Access and feel you are a good fit for a specific track, please submit a video using the sides/instructions provided on this page as they become available.
 
OPEN CALLS - By Appointment Only
Sign-up begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday, February 4, here: NYC OPEN CALL

  • We will be dancing in groups first, followed by a cut. You may be asked to stay and sing. 
  • Ensemble callbacks to dance, sing, and/or read are scheduled for Friday, Feb 13. Some Actors may be given a Principal Appointment on Feb 16 - 17 or invited to Final Callbacks on Feb 18 - 19.
  • Prepare 16 bars from a song of your choice. Bring your book and have something contrasting prepared. You can sing from our season if you'd like. 
  • Bring a current headshot/resume and proper dance attire, including shoes.  
 
SEEKING experienced Actors and Dancers who sing well for Principal and Ensemble tracks. We are also seeking candidates for our internship program. In addition to guaranteed performance, interns receive a $400 weekly stipend and are provided with housing/transportation. Interns should, ideally, have full summer availability. 
 
Due to housing constraints, we are especially seeking actors who are available for more than one show in our season.
 
VIDEO SUBMISSIONS will be accepted for those unable to attend the local or NYC calls, though it is always best to attend an in-person call if you are able.
 
PRINCIPAL VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
  • Use the sides provided at the link below.
  • If submitting for more than one show/role, you do not need to tape the full packets. Send one scene and one song for each role, and we will let you know if we need to see more. If you’ve taped for the same role at another theatre, you are also welcome to send that instead of learning and taping new material.
  • Slate your name, union status, height, and location (where you would be traveling from if hired)
  • Please include your headshot and resume with your submission.
  • If the role you are interested in might require dance/movement, please include a link to your reel.
  • If you are also open to an Ensemble track, let us know.
 
ENSEMBLE VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
  • Please send your dance and vocal reels. Links to additional materials or websites are helpful as well.
  • If able, including at least one side (Ensemble or Principal, from any show) helps us get a better sense of your full ability, as many Chorus tracks are featured and/or need to cover a Principal.
  • Please make sure your union status, height, and location (where you would be traveling from if hired) are indicated somewhere.
  • If you are available for multiple shows in our season, please let us know. If you are in school and/or returning to school in the Fall, please be sure to check those dates before stating availability for Little Shop and On Your Feet, as those dates typically interfere with most college programs.
  • Include your headshot and resume with your submission.
 
ALL SUBMISSIONS
  • While not required, it is very helpful when all materials are received via one link (Google Drive, etc.), as those are much easier to share with the whole team than multiple links and attachments.
  • Email submissions to: [email protected]
  • Please indicate in the Subject Line the role/show you are submitting for.
  • Deadline: Wednesday, February 11
