auditions

Every year we hold casting auditions for two of our flagship programs- Free Shakespeare in the Park and Shakespeare on Tour.  Scroll down to learn more about each program and how to audition for each.

We believe that representation matters, on and offstage. We actively recruit under-represented candidates for all roles and positions within the organization. We believe that a diverse organization is a better organization and that the art itself is greatly improved by collaboration among people with different backgrounds and perspectives.  As such, we greatly encourage BIPOC, LGBTQiA+, gender non-conforming and folks of all abilities to audition.

Our current policy is to cast each production with at least 60% artists of color and at least 60% artists who identify as female, non-binary, genderqueer or trans. We recognize that these policies are not inclusive of all types of difference among people and continue to work toward wider representation.
