VIRTUAL Auditions by appointment only
Tacoma Little Theatre is holding auditions for two Page to Screen virtual readings, Buenas Noches Mamá, by Emily Cohen, and Skin, by Anamaria Guerzon. TLT’s Page to Screen welcomes local playwrights an opportunity to have their scripts performed in a virtual staged reading. Pieces will range in length from scenes, one acts, or full length plays and musicals
Auditioners are asked to prepare a short, one-minute contemporary monologue. There will also be cold reads that will be emailed out the day prior to auditions.
To reserve an audition time, fill out the form below, or call our Box Office for assistance at (253) 272-2281.
Once cast, both shows will hold up to two virtual rehearsals for a virtual reading in the latter part of November or beginning of December (based upon actor schedule conflicts).
