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.
