SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder (see breakdown).

Baltimore Center Stage is committed to actively dismantling systems of oppression and racism in every aspect of our organization and practice, including casting. To us, EPAs are our chance to meet the broadest spectrum of the theater community. We encourage all people to submit.

INSTRUCTIONS

We invite all actors to submit one minute of the content of their choosing in the format of their choosing. For this virtual EPA, we welcome all forms of expression – poetry, monologues, scenes, etc. – whatever you feel best represents you and your work. Since we know that not all actors have equal access to adequate space or equipment, you are not required to record something new for us; we will gladly view content that you already have. Submit at https://tinyurl.com/3384p5dm .
