Auditions

Audition Information

The Public Theatre is a Professional Equity Theatre operating under a Small Professional Theatre contract, category 9, producing an exciting selection of 4-6 contemporary plays each season. We provide housing and transportation for actors joining us from out of state. The Public Theatre is open to non-traditional casting and encourages participation by performers of all races and ethnicities.

Each year (usually July or August) The Public Theatre holds 1 ½ days of Equity Principal Auditions in NYC and one day of EPA at The Public Theatre for our upcoming season. Our EPA audition notice will be posted with AEA as well as located on our website.

Auditions for specific shows will be held by appointment only throughout the season and consist of sides from the script we are casting.
