2013 Non-Union Milwaukee General Auditions

The 2013 Non-Union Milwaukee General Auditions will take place on Monday, February 25^th, 2013, from 9:30am to 6:30pm, at Milwaukee Repertory Theater. This is a Locals Only audition – only Non-Union actors that do not require assistance with travel and housing should attend.

We will be implementing an in-person sign-up process for this year’s auditions. On Saturday, January 26, 2013, from 9:00am to 12:00 Noon, interested actors will be able to sign up in person for the 2013 Non-Union Milwaukee General Auditions outside of Milwaukee Rep’s Stackner Cabaret Theater - www.milwaukeerep.com/planvisit/directions.htm - on the 2nd floor of the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex, accessible via elevator or via the escalator near building security.

 

Slots will be available on a first-come-first-served basis – attendance on January 26 will not guarantee an audition slot. Interested actors must present a valid form of photo identification (driver’s license or state-issued identification is recommended) in order to obtain a slot. In addition, please note that an individual is eligible to request one slot only - we will not honor requests made for other individuals.

There will also be 25 Waiting List slots available. Sign-up for these slots will occur in the same manner as outlined above. Obtaining a Waiting List slot does not guarantee an audition, but preference for any slots that open at a later date will be given to those actors on the Waiting List.

Should there be audition or waiting lists slots available after this sign-up period, they will be made available via an additional in-person sign-up at The Rep’s administrative offices. Additional details will be announced at www.milwaukeerep.com/about/actingauditions.html should any slots remain.

Slots for this Non-Equity day will fill quickly. Please plan accordingly.

PREPARATION

Audition slots will be 4 minutes long, and will consist of any two of the following:

1.      One contemporary monologue

2.      One classical monologue (preferably Shakespeare)

3.      One musical theater selection – 60 to 90 seconds in duration.  An accompanist will be in attendance.

Please note that the actor’s introduction and any time necessary to communicate with the accompanist will count as part of the 4 minutes.  Please prepare and time your selections carefully, as actors who exceed the audition time of 4 minutes will be stopped.

Non-Equity actors should plan to bring 25 headshots/resumes.  Actors who choose to audition with a musical theater selection and desire accompaniment should come prepared with sheet music.
