SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in Guthrie Theater's 2026-27 Season (see breakdown). An Equity Monitor will not be provided. The producer will run all aspects of this audition. All roles will be understudied.

We are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in all areas of our work, including the casting of our plays. We seek to hire actors who reflect our world and strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups and diverse backgrounds to audition. Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination and encourage employers to engage in equal employment opportunity policies designed to promote inclusion. Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition. EOE/AA employer.

PREPARATION

Always bring your Equity Membership card to auditions.

Please prepare two contrasting monologues (total material around 4 minutes). Pieces could be from shows in the season, similar themes, or pieces you love and that speak to your worldview. If you are singing, please prepare a short song from the classical musical theater repertoire.
