Preparation Instructions:
Limit your video submission to 3 minutes maximum. Actors may prepare either a short contemporary monologue or a monologue from one of the plays. This time limit includes your slate (your name, name of play, and character you will be performing) which should be included at the beginning of your audition submission.
Upload your taped audition to Vimeo and include a link for viewing in your email submission.
YouTube links are also acceptable, but Vimeo is strongly preferred. Do not share via WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud or other file sharing platforms. Self tape suggestions for your audition. Framing your shot helps. Make sure your phone/device is in landscape format and not portrait position. Make sure the lighting is sufficient. Non-incandescent, bright white lighting that includes some diffusion (non direct, soft) is best. The sound is important. Make sure if using a reader that you are easily heard. An external mic (Lavalier) plugs into your device, is economical and sounds great. Your background is clean. Be aware of what's behind you. A busy or dark background can distract the viewer/listener. Keep the slate separate from the actual audition. Slates can be your headshot or your "live" introduction, whichever you prefer. Feel free to listen to our podcast (2 episodes, 20 minutes each) on video auditions.

Deadline: Aug. 20.

“Ken Ludwig's Dear Jack, Dear Louise:”
Both characters inhabit the world of East Coast Jewish families during the Second World War.
Jack Ludwig - Male, around 30. A charming, slightly shy, self effacing young Jewish guy who has entered the Army. He is altruistic, looking to serve either as a doctor or a serviceman for his country. A true romantic with a quiet sense of humor.
Louise Rabiner - Female, around 25. A funny, talented, attractive young Jewish actress with a surprising and disarming sense of humor. She is strong enough to pursue an independent career on the Broadway stage at a young age as well as to take the lead in pursuing a romance with Jack. Outspoken and endearing.
"It's Only a Play:”
Peter Austin - Male, 40-50, An excitable playwright of a new play, "The Golden Egg;" Anxiously awaiting the reviews of his new work and feeling the pressure not just for an artistic success but to secure his own comfort in the Hamptons amongst NY’s elite. Any ethnicity.
Virginia Noyes - Female, 50-60: the pill-popping, Oscar-winning star who may have an electronic bracelet on her ankle from some past mistakes but is desperately trying to resurrect her career after a series of flops. Any ethnicity.
