As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition.

Seeking Versatile Equity Actors, Singers and Dancers of all gender and ethnic identities for the 58th Season of the Weathervane Theatre. This is an 8 show Alternating Repertory Schedule. All Equity Actors will perform in 3-6 productions. We assemble a resident company of actors. We do not job in for individual productions with the possible exception of Jersey Boys. Contracts range from 3 weeks to 21 weeks depending on casting. Contracts may start and conclude at any point during the season so specific conflicts or other jobs should not prevent members from attending. Breakdowns listed below are merely a guide and suggestion of roles that MIGHT be in the same package. Packages are built around actors hired to be a part of the resident company. Focus on clear and specific storytelling.
