West End Players Guild is a non-Equity professional company; all actors will be paid a stipend. No appointment is required for the auditions. Auditioners are asked to bring a resume and a headshot for each director for whom they wish to read. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the scripts; sides will be provided at the audition. Ample free parking is available on the parking lot behind the church; auditioners should use the basement entrance to the theater from the parking lot.

Plot and character synopses for the plays to be cast are available online at www.westendplayers.org/information/auditions. Auditioners may direct any questions for the directors to wepgnews@westendplayers.org.
