The Actors Center Fall Lottery Auditions

About this event

Schedule: Auditions run both days from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and again from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Actors are seen in groups of ten every half hour.

Monday, November 9: Monologues only — classical or contemporary.

Tuesday, November 10: Musical auditions with a live accompanist provided; monologues are also welcome.

Each actor receives one audition slot. After a brief introduction of the actor and their piece, actors will have up to 90 seconds to perform a memorized monologue or song of their choosing.

Advance submission required: Actors must submit a headshot and resume in advance for inclusion in The Actors' Center's virtual portfolio, which will be made available to auditors.

To reserve an audition slot: Sign up at https://www.actorscenter.org/annual-audition . Deadline to sign up is Saturday, October 31.

Auditions will be professionally recorded on video and, with the consent of the actors, posted on the AC YouTube channel for the review of auditors and whatever use the actor may wish (reels, professional webpage content, etc.). Any actor may also decline to be recorded. It will not affect whether or not they are chosen in the lottery.

For Auditors

Lunch will be provided for auditors from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., with refreshments available at breaks every 90 minutes or as needed.
