Our 2023 Mainstage Summer Season will be announced soon!
Mainstage Summer Actors
We will be hiring roughly 9 actors as our core company for 2023. A weekly stipend of $225 will be available, plus shared housing in a dorm-like setting. The dates of the contract are based on which shows an actor is cast in, but can be anywhere from June 26 through September 2 (8 – 10 weeks).
Acting Interns
We will be hiring roughly 4 – 6 acting interns to play ensemble and smaller roles in three of our mainstage shows. A weekly stipend of $150 will be available, plus shared housing in a dorm-like setting. The dates of the contract are based are June 26 through August 19 (8 weeks). Acting Interns also help facilitate and teach a one-week summer theatre camp called Broadway Bound at the end of the summer.
IMPACT Touring Children’s Theatre Actors
IMPACT is our Touring Children’s Theatre which travels to different locations each week performing an original musical fairytale for six weeks. Our five IMPACT Actors perform 6 different fairytales, one each week. Additionally, our IMPACT Actors will join the Main Stage Actors for an outdoor concert at the start of the season. A weekly stipend of $225 will be available, plus shared housing in a dorm-like setting. The dates of the contract are June 26 through August 13 (7 weeks).
ADDITIONAL: We are also looking for one IMPACT Actor to double as Music Director, plunking out harmonies and teaching the music each week. Basic piano skills and leadership are a must, however, shows are performed to tracks, so skills do not need to be strong enough to play full accompaniment. We also may be looking for an IMPACT Actor to double as Choreographer. In both situations, an additional weekly stipend of $50 is added to the paycheck.
Additional Guest Actors
We often job in both professional out-of-state non-union actors, as well as local performers for individual roles as the need arises. Please check back to see what roles will be available as job-ins for 2023.
