Additional Instructions:
For consideration, talent must sign-up for an audition slot at https://forms.gle/mJoamfqn5sCbpTdn.
If all the slots are full, there is a section on the sign-up form to
select to be added to the waitlist. Once the form is submitted, the
submission will be automatically timestamped in the system, meaning we
will have a record of the order in which everyone is added to the
waitlist. Once submissions are closed, confirmations will be sent out
and any open slots will be allocated to individuals on the waitlist.
Audition preparation instructions: Please choose a brief song of your
choice in the style of the show (Indian pop, folk, etc.). An accompanist
will be provided. Note: there will be no dancing at this call. Please
bring a picture and resume, stapled together. Deadline to sign up is
Jan. 24 (12 p.m. ET).
An Equity Monitor will not be provided.
The producer will run all aspects of this audition. Always bring your
Equity Membership card to auditions.
We welcome performers of all
gender identities, abilities/exceptionalities, and body types. Please
take this into consideration when submitting clients. Actors of diverse
cultural and racial backgrounds are encouraged to apply. In addition to
genders listed in character breakdowns, we are actively seeking trans
and non-binary performers for all roles.
Equity encourages
everyone participating in the auditions to wear a two-ply cloth face
mask, surgical mask, singer’s mask, or respirator (N95, KN95, or KF94).
Single-ply face masks, gaiters, and bandanas are not recommended.
Singer’s masks can be found at www.broadwayreliefproject.com/singersmask.
Equity encourages members to prepare for their audition prior to
arriving at the audition venue, to the extent that they can (e.g., get
dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing
rooms. The audition room (Studio 412) can accommodate no more than 31
dancers at a time. The holding room (Studio 408) can accommodate no more
than 35 individuals at a time.
Equity’s contracts prohibit
discrimination. Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its
employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed
to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages
performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as
performers with disabilities, to attend every audition.
