Equity actors for roles in Northlight Theatre's 2023-24 Season (see breakdown).
Northlight Theatre is interested in seeing all actors at this EPA: actors of any race, gender, age and ability are encouraged to audition, regardless of the character descriptions for the plays in our upcoming season.
It is the intention of Northlight Theatre to understudy all Equity roles with non-union actors.
Northlight Theatre has posted monologues for the 2023-2024 season on our website at northlight.org/opportunities under the Casting tab. Scripts will be available at Northlight. We encourage you to select one of the provided monologues from the season's shows belonging to the character with whom you most connect. Actors may alternatively perform a monologue of their choosing that is no more than two minutes in length.
Expected to attend:
Casting Director: Claire Simon
Casting Associate: Cassidy Price
Casting Assistant: Joe Agase
Northlight Casting Associate: Georgette Verdin
See production dates in breakdown.
OTHER
An Equity monitor will be provided.
EPA Procedures are in effect for 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.
