Theater Emory attends the Unified Auditions sponsored by the Atlanta Coalition for the Performing Arts (ACPA) every spring. These serve as general auditions for union and non-union professional actors. For more information on these auditions see the ACPA website www.atlantaperforms.biz. If you attended these auditions in spring of 2011 we already have you on file for our 2011-2012 season but you are welcome to audition again in response to specific casting notices for 2011-2012 productions. Auditions for Theater Emory are held only in Atlanta; we don’t audition in other cities. In addition to print media and “hotlines” TE audition notices are generally posted online at ACPA and (for Equity notices) online in “Casting Call” at www.actorsequity.org.
Theater Emory is the producing affiliate of Theater Studies within the Department of Theater and Dance, and a professional theater operating under a Small Professional Theater contract with Actors’ Equity Association, the union for professional stage actors and stage managers. Our productions typically feature both student and professional actors (both Equity and non-Equity). Please note that roles in the age range of 30 or under are usually awarded to students. Professionals in the over-30 age range are most likely to find employment here. It is unusual for Theater Emory to hire actors that are not based in the Atlanta or North Georgia region. No housing is available to out of area performers. Theater Emory seeks a company that reflects the cultural diversity of the community we serve.
Professional actors may submit headshots and résumés for general consideration at any time to Robert Schultz, Casting Coordinator.
