Auditions for our 2010-2011 Season

The Stagecrafters holds open auditions for each production, which typically consist of cold readings from the script.

Audition dates for the full 2010-11 season are listed below. Each session begins at 7:30 PM, but we ask that those auditioning for the first time at The Stagecrafters arrive at 7:00 PM. No appointment is necessary. All roles are non-equity, non-paying unless otherwise stated. Headshots and/or resumes are useful, but by no means required. Approximately two weeks before each audition, a readthrough will be held for people who want to become familiar with the play before auditioning, or for anyone who wants to be part of a small group reading a play aloud. This session is not a pre-audition - just a means for interested people to get acquainted with the text by reading aloud in a group setting.

We do not always cast our productions in one session. If you are interested in trying out but miss the scheduled audition, give us a call: we may be having call-backs.

Questions? Call (readthrough) 215-242-4811 or (auditions) 215-247-9257 or 215-753-8773.
