Our Resident Acting Company of 13 members fill about half the contract roles available each season. We are always seeking new, skilled actors with training and interest in classical repertory to work with us as guest artists.

  • One must be classical (Shakespeare is preferred), the second piece may be classical or contemporary.
  • Combined length for both pieces must be less than two minutes.

We enthusiastically endorse non-traditional casting. Actors of ethnically diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to audition.
