Audition

Click here to subscribe to Pioneer Theatre Company's Audition Notification List.

Pioneer Theatre Company is a fully professional theatre company in residence, acting under a LORT-B contract with Actors’ Equity Association. That means that working for PTC is a full-time commitment, and auditioners must be available all day for the rehearsal period of a show, as well as for two matinee performances during the run of a production. Rehearsal times are decided on the first day of most rehearsals, but usually run from 7 to 9 hours, including a meal break.

The latest audition information is also distributed via a press release; visit our press room for our more recent announcements.
