No headshot or resume is required for your appointment. PLEASE USE THE LINK PROVIDED BELOW TO SIGN UP.

All experience levels are welcome, and preference will be given to local artists.
Please note:

• In-person callbacks, including Actors’ Equity Principal Auditions, for each production will be held throughout the summer.
• Youth auditions will also be held later this summer, so I ask that actors under 18 do not sign up for this round of auditions.
• Everyone working at Book-It Repertory Theatre is required to be vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination upon hiring. Book-It also requires proof of vaccination and masking for audience members. Our policies are based on and evolve with our agreement with Actors’ Equity Association and recommendations by public health authorities. Please reach out to casting@book-it.org if you have any questions regarding our COVID policies.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me, Zenaida, directly via email: casting@book-it.org. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Audition requirements

Prepare for the following in your audition: A conversation. I want to get an idea of the stories that spark your excitement and how you like to create. What stories do you want to see yourself in? What about these stories draws you in? What questions do you have about Book-It? A monologue or passage of text from the media of your choice. This could be from a book, play, movie, TV show, or any piece of media where the character speaking has a direct listener in mind. Please keep your selection under one and a half minutes in length. No headshot or resume is required for your appointment.
