OPEN CALL NOTES

If you are a member of  the Actor's Equity Association, you can sign up for an open call appointment slot through the Actor's Equity website.

If you are NOT a member of the Actor's Equity Association, you simply show up to the open call, put your name on a list, and will then likely have a wait until you can be squeezed in (for the dancers calls, there likely won't be a wait).

NOTE: We cannot guarantee everybody will be seen at the open call, so option 4 below may be your best bet to guarantee casting consideration. Just a friendly reminder that we need NON-EQUITY performers for this show (there are only 3 or 4 Equity contracts for the entire cast)
You are welcome to attend BOTH the singers call on the 13th and the dancers call on the 14th, if you would like.
