SEEKING

Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination. Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. Performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities and performers from underserved communities, are encouraged to attend. Connecticut and Westchester talent a plus.

THE IRISH is a celebration of Irish culture in a musical revue-ish structure. Singers/actors who can play one of the following instruments — piano, guitar, mandolin, accordion, or various percussion instruments (not drums) — and who also move well are encouraged to audition. Tap or Irish dance is a plus but not required.
