AUDITION FAQ
Where are auditions held? All Estrogenius auditions will be held at Manhattan Theatre Source (177 MacDougal Street, NYC 10011) July 16 – August 8 (the schedule is listed below).
How do I get an audition slot? Actors sign up for a five-minute time slot at Manhattan Theatre Source. Actors must be available for callbacks, rehearsals, tech and performance, so please check the important dates for your week before signing up for a slot.
Do I need to prepare a monoloque? No. Auditions are from sides, which will be available by NOON the day of auditions.
Can I take scripts home or copy them? No. All of the plays are available for IN HOUSE reading ONLY. Please respect our writers & leave scripts here.
Can I audition for more than one play in a week? IF there’s time in your slot, you may read for another play. You are certainly free to express to all the directors (you’ll be seen by a rep from each play & any of them can call you back) all the plays in which you have interest.
Can I audition for more than one week? There is NO DOUBLE CASTING in Estrogenius. Once you are cast, you must stop auditioning. Until you are cast, you are free to audition for all subsequent weeks. (The only exceptions are walk on or under five roles)
Should I mail in/drop off/email a headshot/resume before auditions? All pic/resumes dropped off before the date of your audition will go into our general files. Bring 6 pic/resumes each week you come to open call.
When do the sign up sheets go up for weeks 2-4? Sign up sheets go up the Monday before the auditions. This gives us a chance to make sure we’ve notified all those cast in the previous week so actors know whether they’re eligible to keep auditioning.
Are any of the plays pre-cast? No plays are pre-cast, but writers, directors and producers may invite actors directly to callbacks.
Is Estrogenius an Equity showcase? Yes. We will be casting Equity & non-Equity actors.
Is there pay? We wish. Estrogenius is entirely run by volunteers.
When are sides available? Sides will be available by noon on the day of auditions.
Are there roles for men? Of course. There are roles for men & women, various ages & types.
