TECHNICIANS
If you would like to be added to our roster of part-time, hourly (aka overhire) technicians, please email a resume to production@delawaretheatre.org along with information about which kind of work you are qualified for and interested in. We generally have the greatest need for load-in/strike carpenters, electricians, build carpenters, and stitchers, but would be glad to know more technicians, of all persuasions.
AUDITIONS/CASTING
We hold annual open calls for each season through Equity Principal Auditions (EPAs), which are posted on the Actors' Equity Associate website each spring. While AEA members are given priority and can make appointments in advance, we typically have time to see all walk up non-union members, as well.
Outside of EPAs, we generally audition for specific roles by invitation only. We are happy to accept year round casting submissions. To be added to our casting database for future consideration, please fill out this form:
