Annual Combined Auditions
NOTICE FOR NON-EQUITY ACTORS: Registration opens June 1, 2018
NOTICE FOR EQUITY ACTORS: Registration opens June 15, 2018.
Details below.
Every August, over two days, we hold auditions for 120 Equity and 120 Non-Equity performers. In attendance are our member theatres who are interested in seeking new local talent for their upcoming seasons.
Registration opens online every Spring and, due to a high volume of response, audition slots are chosen through a lottery system. Results from theatres that are interested in your work are posted 48 hours after your audition. You can then follow-up with those theatres according to their prefered method of follow-up, as indicated at the auditions. This is a fantastic opportunity to be seen by multiple theatres at once.
Please note: Not all of our member theatres participate in these auditions, and we will not have a confirmed list of participating theatres until about a week before the auditions.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION –
Please read carefully; because of the high volume of entries, failure to follow instructions will cause your entry to be rejected.
Registration will be done online, and can be found below. 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 booklet that will be distributed to the theatre representatives attending.* This saves time and effort throughout the audition process, and will allow you to leave once your audition is finished. A follow-up list – indicating which theatres expressed interest in your work – will be posted on our website shortly after the auditions are concluded.
You must submit your headshot and resume digitally in order to register.
ALL Headshots and resumes must be received in PDF format, 8.5x11 or 8x10.
Thumbnails, TIFs, GIFs, web files, .doc, .txt will not be accepted.
