combined auditions in progress

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Thank you to all who have registered for the 2022 Combined Auditions.

About the Combined Auditions

New Jersey Theatre Alliance (NJTA), the service organization for the state and region’s 40 professional theatres, will hold auditions in Enlow Recital Hall on the campus of Kean University in Hillside, NJ on Monday, October 3rd from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM for Equity performers, and Tuesday, October 4th from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM for Non-Equity performers. This is a fantastic opportunity to be seen by multiple theatres at once. Representatives from our member theatres will follow up with actors directly if they are interested in working with them.

PLEASE NOTE: It is anticipated that approximately half of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance member theaters will participate in these auditions. We will not have a confirmed list of participating theatres until about a week before the auditions. 

All actors looking to audition must provide proof of full vaccination upon confirmation of their audition. “Fully Vaccinated,” as defined by the CDC, is more than 14 calendar days following receipt of a final dose of an FDA or World Health Organization authorized or approved vaccine.

Submission Information

Please read carefully; because of the high volume of entries, failure to follow instructions will cause your entry to be rejected. 

At registration, NJTA will require you to submit your headshot and resume digitally in advance of your audition. Headshots and resumes will be placed in a book that will be distributed to theatre representatives attending. 

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

*To defray the cost of printing the book, minimal fees may apply for NON-EQUITY ACTORS. 

NOTICE FOR EQUITY ACTORS: Equity Actors have the option of informing us what time of the day they would like to audition. We do not guarantee that you will receive your preferred time, but we will make every effort to honor your request. Full instructions will be included in the registration form. 

Due to the high volume of entries, a lottery process is in effect for Non-Equity Actors. EMC is considered Non-Equity 

To register, follow the rules and procedures below: 

  • Register using the link above. The deadline to register is Friday, September 16, 2022. 
  • If given an audition slot, you will be notified by email no later than September 26, 2022.

All of New Jersey’s professional theatres are equal opportunity employers. Actors of color and actors with disabilities are encouraged to submit. Actors based in New Jersey or with access to New Jersey housing are particularly encouraged to submit 

What to Prepare

EQUITY Actors have 5 minutes. NON-EQUITY Actors have 3 minutes. Two contrasting monologues are preferred: one contemporary, one classic; one comedic, one dramatic. You can also perform one monologue if it represents you best. Alternatively, actors may choose to deliver one monologue and a 32-bar cut of a song if singing. Please indicate on your registration form if you intend to sing.

No phone calls, please!
