Seeking Company Members for Fall Play Reading and Discussion Series

The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) is recruiting a small core of actors, from all ethnicities, ages and backgrounds, who are committed to growing and developing as members of a company, working both onstage and behind the scenes. ATW’s award-winning Artistic Director and Founder, Thurman E. Scott, whose mentor Stella Adler called “The inheritor of the Stanislavski legacy and of my legacy . . . [and] whose work advances acting technique to the next generation…,” will direct and develop each individual as we explore and present new, contemporary American plays that examine the issues we face as a society. We are auditioning actors for a series of projects over the next year. The first one will be our Fall Play Reading and Discussion Series where we will be presenting staged readings and open rehearsals of a selected play to members of the public in ATW’s 5,000 square foot theater facility in Chelsea, Manhattan. In the theatre, the audience rarely sees the development process that a production goes through - - they only see the end result. This series will invite the public to join in and witness the many complex steps that go into developing a play as the director works with the ensemble, from the beginning process of choosing the play to creating the final production. If you are an actor looking for an opportunity to grow and become part of a creative ensemble that puts new, thought-provoking plays on their feet, please submit your resume along with a 3 minute tape of the monologue that best expresses you as a creative artist to outreach@actorstheatreworkshop.com
