General Casting Policy:
Experienced actors of all backgrounds—including non-native speakers
of English—encouraged to audition.
We operate under an SPT 1 contract with Actors' Equity. We are
looking to fill a number of roles—with union, emc (candidate), and
non-union actors. All actors are paid. Rehearsals are generally
evenings.

Audition Guidelines:
Carefully review the dates of the plays.
Make an appointment by email to upstreamtheater@sbcglobal.net, even
if you have auditioned for us previously. Please let us know if you
are only auditioning for specific plays—otherwise we will consider
you for all shows in the season.

Bring two resumes and photos to the audition. (If we have your
current photo on file you do not need to bring another.)
You do not need to prepare a monologue. Sides will be available
several days before the audition. (These are all new scripts).
If you cannot attend the times above but are interested in
auditioning please let us know.

The role of Johnny in The Concert has been cast. About fifteen other
actors (depending on double-casting) are needed for a wide variety of
roles for women and men of various ages.

Please send all inquiries to upstreamtheater@sbcglobal.net (or by
phone one week prior to auditions)
