We cannot wait to see you perform! To have the best experience at your audition, keep the following in mind:
1. Be aware of any age restrictions.
Actors PLAYground offers audition opportunities for youth ages 5-18, and our 20-Something Series is offered to young actors ranging in age from 15 to 25. Depending on the material, some shows may have a limited age range. The age requirements are posted for each show.
2. Bring a headshot/snapshot.
To help the directing team remember who you are, bring a headshot or snapshot of you to the audition.
For the best headshot:
- Make sure it’s only you in the photo.
- It should be a close-up of your head and shoulders.
- Ensure good lighting—we need to see your face.
- The photo should look like you. Not a glamour shot, no cool lighting effects, JUST YOU.
- Double check that your name is on the photo.
3. Check your calendar early for schedule conflicts.
Look for any schedule conflicts between the audition date(s) and the scheduled dates of the show. We understand that everyone has possible conflicts with certain rehearsal dates. The director must know all of the conflicts prior to casting the show and scheduling rehearsals. The detailed rehearsal schedule will be created with these known conflicts. Unexcused absences are disruptive to the rehearsal process and disrespectful to the other cast members.
4. Know your answer to this key question.
Will you accept any role? It is OK to say no—that you will not accept any role. However, please do not say you will accept any role if you do not mean it.
It’s time. Let your story unfold, your characters come alive, and your talent shine.
