Job Opportunities

PTC accepts new scripts from unrepresented playwrights from May through September, when we are focused on reading, but we will accept a synopsis at any time.  The synopsis will give us the opportunity to reach back out to you if we know that the project does not fit our mission.  Anyone who submits a script will receive acknowledgement of receipt.

The Terrence McNally Award submissions take place in the fall, and the 2021 winner is Donja R. Love.  For more information or to see if you are eligible to apply please click HERE.

General Audition Information

Philadelphia Theatre Company casts both seasonally and on a per show basis. Auditions are usually held in the early spring in Philadelphia and New York, and we typically participate in the Greater Philadelphia auditions. Audition notices are posted on this website, on the AEA website, on the Theatre Alliance website, and elsewhere. Please be advised that at this time we expect more ‘virtual’ auditions, and will accept video submissions in accordance with Actors’ Equity Association rules.  Non-Equity Actors may also submit video submissions.

More information about our next season’s casting plans will be posted shortly.

For breakdowns and for sides please watch this space.

Volunteers are essential to the efficient operation of Philadelphia Theatre Company, and we are grateful for your interest in joining our family.

Volunteer to usher and see shows for free! Philadelphia Theatre Company is calling all enthusiastic arts-lovers to usher at the beautiful Suzanne Roberts Theatre. Everyone is welcome – all you need is a positive attitude and willingness to provide a great experience to fellow theatregoers!

House Managers may assign ushers to greet and direct patrons, stuff and distribute programs, assist with seating, collect ticket stubs, and help with light upkeep after the performance.

Arrival time is one 1 hr. & 15 min. prior to curtain, and appropriate all-black dress is required. Parking is available at local parking garages, lots, and meters.

All volunteers are encouraged to invite friends to join them in ushering and are invited to watch the performance.
