Auditions/Casting

WHAT MATTERS TO US

The Alliance Theatre is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our organization. We encourage people of all races, ethnicities, religions, orientations, creeds, and the differently abled to submit for auditions.  

COMMITMENT TO *LOCAL

The Alliance generally holds two invited calls for each of its Coca-Cola and Hertz Productions. The first in Atlanta with intent to cast as many local actors as possible and appropriate, and the second in New York (NY calls are based primarily on agent submissions through adjunct NY Casting Directors). Theatre for Youth and Family Productions are cast exclusively with metro-Atlanta actors. 

* Local actors are defined as someone who resides within a 60-mile radius from the Capitol.  

ACTOR SUBMISSION

Actors interested in being considered for casting at the alliance theatre must submit a headshot and resume. Actors local to metro Atlanta should submit to: casting@alliancetheatre.org. Actors not local to Atlanta are encouraged to submit based on specific show roles being produced in the current season (see below). Out of town actors should submit to: ootcasting@alliancetheatre.org.

GENERAL AUDITIONS FOR LOCAL ACTORS

The most effective way for the Alliance to get to know talent is through a general audition. When called for a general, actors are asked to prepare two contrasting monologues no more than three minutes combined. Monologues can contrast in any number of ways – style, tone, genre, etc. Singers should prepare 16 bars acapella.   

Actors may also prepare performance art that exemplifies any additional talents, including but not limited to: dance, poetry, rap, comedy, etc. This should be no longer than a minute.
