Pioneer Theatre Company Announces General Season Auditions 5/12

Local Equity Principal Auditions (EPAs) for Pioneer Theatre Company's 2011-2012 Season will be held on Thursday, May 12, 2011. Equity Principal Auditions are for actors ages 18 and up. Audition time slots are from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If these slots are 75% filled in advance, additional time will be made available.

Actors who have recently appeared in a PTC show, or actors who are sure that PTC is familiar with their work, do not need to attend the general audition. There will be local show-specific auditions for each production; those audition dates and times will be announced at later dates.

Only AEA (Equity) members may reserve an audition time slot. Non-Equity actors are also welcome and will be seen as time permits, but may not reserve an audition time slot in advance. Equity members may email ElizaBeth Williamson at elizabeth.williamson@ptc.utah.edu, or may come into the theatre to sign up for an audition time.

The sign-up sheet will be posted by noon on Thursday, May 5, 2011 in Room 325 of Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre. This sign-up sheet is for Equity actors only. Non-Equity actors may come to the theatre as early as 10:00 a.m. on the day of the audition, at which point a non-Equity waiting list will be started. Actors on the waiting list will be seen as time permits throughout the day.

Auditioners should prepare either two contrasting monologues or one monologue and an audition song. An accompanist will be provided; auditioners should bring sheet music as needed. Auditions will be held in Room 245 of the Roy W. and Elizabeth E. Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre, located at 300 South 1400 East, Salt Lake City.
