Please include a short 1-2 minute video featuring your acting ability. Feel free to present a memorized monologue, read an excerpt, share an already existing acting video. So long as we are able to see a video that showcases your current acting ability.


Please state your name and pronouns at the beginning. Typical “self-tape” setup, etc. is not required. Phone videos are perfectly acceptable, so long as we can see and hear you clearly in the video. Unlisted Youtube video preferred, but Google Drive, Box, Dropbox also accepted. We prefer to be able to view online without having to download the video. We understand auditioning is itself often prohibitively difficult labor. For this reason, we are also open to receiving a recent video that showcases your current ability.

You will be asked for a headshot and resume.

We understand headshots are expensive and often not always how we wish to present ourselves. Selfies or any picture that best represents you are also permissible. While we do require a headshot or photo of you, a resume is not required if you do not have one.
