A cast breakdown for each show and audition requirements can be found online at http://nashvillerep.org/theatre-auditions

Auditions are for adult, professional actors, Equity or Non-Equity. To be considered for a role, actors must be available to rehearse during daytime hours, must be available for all performance dates, and must be available during the rehearsal and performance timeframe.

Nashville Rep operates on an SPT7 contract with AEA. The theatre is seeking local performers, as no housing is available. It is anticipated that casting will be complete by the end of June 2016.

Full and fair casting consideration will be given to ethnic minorities, women, seniors, and actors with disabilities. Performers of all races and ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
