Equity actors may audition on non-Equity days. For an appointment, call 415/ 499-4488 or email info@marinShakespeare.org
To schedule an audition appointment, please tell us your name, whether or not you are a member of Actor’s Equity Association, and your preferred audition date and time. We will contact you to confirm your appointment. In the event you need to cancel or change your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible.
Equity actors please prepare two contrasting Shakespearean monologues, total 3 min. max; non-Equity please prepare one Shakespearean monologue, 2 min. max. Bring photo/resume to the audition. We will also see a short example of any special talents (singing, juggling, musical instrument, etc.) Please prepare to use your full voice; ours is a large outdoor amphitheatre. We do not recommend sending a photo/resume in advance.
Out of town actors wishing to audition in San Rafael before February may send photo/ resume to:
Robert Currier, Artistic Director,
P.O. Box 4053,
San Rafael, CA 94913
At the AD’s discretion, an appointment may be scheduled after your resume is received. Our theatre is a large outdoor amphitheatre and vocal quality is extremely important; therefore we do not accept videotape auditions nor do we cast from submissions.
