SEEKING
Equity actors for roles in Children's Theatre Company's 2022-23 Season (see breakdown).
Children's Theatre Company (CTC) is the nation’s leading theatre for multigenerational audiences creating theatre experiences that educate, challenge and inspire young people.
CTC is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and justice in our organization and our community, and thus we seek a broad spectrum of artists, staff, and board members. We strongly encourage and welcome auditions from artists who are Black, Indigenous or People of Color, as well as those who are from other underrepresented communities. CTC is committed to a future where our theatre is a home for all people, all families, and is truly reflective of our community.
PREPARATION
Please prepare 2 contrasting monologues at 1 minute each and a brief cut of a song that shows off vocal range. Please choose challenging, well-written material - no need to pick something from the traditional children's literature or children's theatre genre.

All members with appointments will be notified if the auditions must be postponed or cancelled.
We encourage members to prepare for their audition at home, to the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing rooms. Additional information required in notice:
