GENERAL AUDITIONS

Seattle Shakespeare Company holds general auditions at least once a season (this year in early May). Please contact casting to inquire about when and where they will be scheduled. 

 

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT OUR GENERAL AUDITIONS

AEA and non-AEA actors are encouraged to participate. All AEA actors will be given auditions. Remaining time slots will be released to non-AEA actors based on their level of experience.
Non-AEA members are hugely important for our casting pool. For non-AEA members, receiving an audition slot is not based on a first-come, first-served basis. Classical training and experience will be the primary deciding factor.

Please do not ask for an audition if you've worked for Seattle Shakespeare Company/Wooden O within the past 12 months. (If we have seen you in the past year, and you are interested in specific role or roles, an e-mail will be sufficient to renew your file.)

 

TO REQUEST AN AUDITION SLOT

We prefer to receive your information electronically. Please send your resume, cover letter, and headshot to casting. You may also drop/mail your headshot and resume off at the Seattle Shakespeare Office at the Center House Theatre. There will be a box inside the door of our offices with a label that reads AUDITIONS.
PLEASE, NO PHONE SUBMISSIONS.
All requests must include a cover letter. You will be called on or before your audition day/slot. You will be contacted if you do not receive an audition slot.

 

WHAT TO PREPARE

Your audition slot will be five minutes long. Please prepare two classical pieces, one of which must be from Shakespeare and in verse. We may not ask for your second piece, but it should be ready to been seen and heard should we ask to see it.
Please bring a headshot/resume to your audition, even if you dropped a hard copy off at the office.
Please note that we rehearse a full time, daytime schedule, and have an extensive student matinee program, so daytime hours will be utilized during your performance runs as well.
If you have questions, please send your query to casting.
