Audition question or video submission form

DO YOU ONLY CAST WOMEN?
eMBer Women’s Theatre welcomes persons of all ages, races, genders, and abilities to audition for productions. For roles that are characterized as “male” or “female” we cast actors who either identify as the genders specified, or those who identify as fluid or non-binary. eMBer Women’s Theatre strives to always be a welcoming and safe space for you to pursue art. Our work is focused on bringing more productions to stage that highlight female-identifying characters, but our doors are open to all people.

WHAT DO I NEED TO PREPARE?
Please arrive on time. We prefer to audition cold readings from sides of the production and will not ask for monologues. You may bring a resume and headshot, but they are not required.

DO I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR AN AUDITION SLOT?
Nope! Our auditions are first come, first served.
