SEATTLE PUBLIC THEATER & TAPROOT THEATRE COMPANY 2014-15 SEASONS - Seattle Public Theater Non Equity Auditions

For the first time, these two professional North-end neighboring theatres have decided to pool their resources and broaden their scope by offering a combined general audition for their 2014-2015 seasons.

Because SPT and TTC will both be attending the TPS Unified General auditions they will only be seeing actors who were unable to attend the TPS generals. Actors are asked to sign-up for an audition slot beginning Monday March 3rd at 9am by e-mailing Karen Lund at
Karen@taproottheatre.org. Audition scheduling is on a first come, first scheduled basis. Coordinators will attempt to accommodate specific scheduling requests, but make no promises.

Actors will be allotted three minutes for their audition and are asked to prepare one monologue or two contrasting monologues in any style. Singing is not required.

Actors are advised to bring 2 sets of their headshot and resume to the general audition so each theatre may have a physical copy for their files.

Auditions will be attended by Shana Bestock, Artistic Director (SPT,) Kelly Kitchens, Associate Artistic Director (SPT,) Scott Nolte, Producing Artistic Director (TTC,) and Karen Lund, Associate Artistic Director (TTC.).
