Auditions
New Theatre, located at 4120 Laguna Street, Coral Gables, FL 33146, will be conducting two days of Equity Principal Auditions (non-Equity may attend and are welcome to the auditions as well) for our 2010-2011 season on Tuesday September 7th, Noon - 8pm (1hr dinner break 4- 5pm) and Wednesday September 8th, 2010 from 10am - 6 pm (1hr lunch break 2-3pm).
Actors need to prepare two contrasting contemporary/classical monologues. Both monologues should total 3 minutes in time. All actors will provide an updated headshot/resume, and provide any foreseeable conflicts. Professional attire is strongly recommended. Actors should call 305-443-5373 ext 305 to schedule a five minute slot for their audition by leaving a message with our Production Stage Manager, Vanessa Thompson, who will call you back and confirm the appropriate audition time. Please be patient to hear back.
- Appointments for performers shall be scheduled in five-minute time slots.
- Equity performers shall neither be required nor shall they be invited to mail, fax, deliver or e-mail their headshots and resumes in order to secure an audition appointment.
- Though Equity performers have priority over time slots, on the day of the Equity auditions, Equity performers without appointments shall be accommodated as time permits.
- We uphold color-blind, accent-deaf casting practices unless noted specifically in character breakdown.
- We do not have the ability to provide housing for out-of-town actors.
- Because of the nature of World Premieres, the scripts CAN NOT leave the premises of the theatre, but the plays are made available to the actors auditioning by appointment only if they should choose to familiarize themselves with the roles.
