INSTRUCTIONS

Please submit your headshot, resume, and a link to your video audition for consideration. The video submission deadline is February 21, 2026 at 11:59pm ET.

If you are using a phone to record, please film horizontally in a well-lit space. The production is outdoors and does not use sound amplification, so vocal technique and textual clarity are essential. Please slate with your name, pronouns, and a list of musical instruments you play, if any.

Email a link to a 1–2 minute Shakespearean monologue. If you play an instrument, please include a video or recording of you playing. Email links in a streaming format (Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, etc.). Do not attach full video files or send download links.
