Pittsburgh Public Theater aims to be accountable to authentic casting whenever possible and to deeply consider casting performers of diverse racial and gender identities and abilities to better reflect our community and enrich the storytelling on our stages. Please visit ppt.org to learn more about our theater’s ongoing work to promote
anti-racism and equity on and off our stage. An Equity Monitor will not be provided. The producer will run all aspects of this audition. Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination. Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition. Always bring your Equity Membership card to auditions.
Equity encourages everyone participating in the auditions to wear a two-ply cloth face mask, surgical mask, singer’s mask or respirator (N95, KN95 or KF94). Single-ply face masks, gaiters and bandanas are not recommended. Singer’s masks can be found at www.broadwayreliefproject.com/singersmask.
Equity encourages members to prepare for their audition prior to arriving at the audition venue, to
the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms
and dressing rooms.
