Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Theatre is thrilled to announce that audition submissions for the upcoming production of Shakespeare’s “Timon of Athens” are now open. Looking for performers.

Rate: Profit-share. Additional information: This immersive production offers a unique experience for actors and dancers looking to expand their classical repertoire. Rehearsals will take place three days a week throughout September under an ACP. Auditions are open to both union and non-union actors. Callback on August 3rd.
