WELCOME TO ACT 2 PLAYERS
Your Next Chapter Starts on Our Stage
Act 2 Players is a supportive, inclusive space where community performers find their home. Whether you are returning to the theatre after a long hiatus or auditioning for the very first time, we welcome your unique perspective. We look for passion, dedication, and a love for storytelling in every performer who walks through our doors.
The Audition Process
​
Our first round of auditions will be done by self tape. Please be sure to mention in your tape what roles you are looking to audition for and please share a little bit about your past theatre and dance experience (don’t worry if you don’t have any, we just want to get to know you a little better!).
Â
Callbacks will take place IN PERSON on the 27th of June - please let us know if you cannot make this date so we can make accommodations if needed. Any one who is needed at callbacks will hear from us directly with all the necessary info alongside any material we need you to prepare. Don’t worry if you didn’t receive a callback, it does not mean you will not be cast in the show!
​
Casting will be announced within a week after callbacks. Everyone who auditioned will receive an email from us before any cast list is publicly posted. Once we send you your role we ask that you let us know ASAP if you will be accepting the part so that we can compile our cast list.
Requirements & Preparation
Below are the links to the material for your self tape, please sing one song and record one scene from the material below for the character you feel best suits you.
Â
Tapes are due June 19th at the latest and should be sent to Act2PlayersTO@gmail.comÂ
Â
Please also include a headshot (or recent picture) and resume (if you have one!).
​
​If you have any dance footage you can add to your tape that would be great as well.Â
