General Audition Information

Due to uncertain Covid conditions, this year Philadelphia Theatre Company will cast our season on a per show basis. Audition notices are typically posted on this website, on the Actors Equity Association website, on the Theatre Philadelphia website, and elsewhere. Please be advised that at this time we expect most auditions to be ‘virtual’ auditions, and we will accept video submissions in accordance with Actors’ Equity Association rules.  Non-Equity Actors may also submit video submissions. For more information and to ask questions, email [email protected].

We anticipate that this production will require all personnel to be vaccinated
and will comply with all Equity rules regarding medical and  religious exemptions.

A breakdown for Choir Boy, by Tarell Alvin McCraney can be found at the link below.

Deadline for all video submissions will be announced soon, as this production has moved to our winter slot.  Callbacks will take place either virtually or in person, as approved.
