Geva to Hold Auditions for 2015-2016 Season

Geva Theatre Center will be holding Equity and non-Equity dramatic and musical auditions for its 2015-2016 season, for both actors and singers 18 years of age or older on Sunday, April 26, from 11am-2pm, and 3pm-7pm.

For dramatic auditions only, auditionees should prepare two contrasting monologues, not to exceed four minutes total. Those wishing to audition for Monty Python's Spamalot and/or A Christmas Carol should prepare a brief monologue and bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided.

Members of Actors' Equity must make an appointment by phoning (585) 232-1366. A list of Equity roles being cast has been submitted to the Equity office. AEA members without appointments will be seen as time permits.

Non-Equity members will only be seen on a first come, first served basis when no Equity actor is waiting. Non-Equity actors who have auditioned for Geva within the past twelve months are ineligible for these general auditions. All roles are paid.

Auditions will take place at Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd., Rochester, NY 14607. All auditionees must bring a headshot and resume.

Children's auditions for A Christmas Carol will be held in September.
