Did you know?

Audition prep workshops, classes, and info sessions are available through our Education & Community Engagement Department.

Why?

You will be best prepared and more likely to be cast if you know:

  • The actor’s process
  • The vocabulary of acting
  • Basic audition techniques
  • What an actor does.

Having had at least some introductory training in acting and auditioning from any reputable source will exponentially enhance your chances of being cast.

Learn more, register & browse classes!

We accept self-taped video auditions!

If you are unavailable to attend an audition, we will accept a video submission. Submissions for specific shows must be received no later than the first day of scheduled auditions. You may send a general audition submission at any time. Send a Youtube link or a link from your cloud to auditions@venicetheatre.net.

Helpful Tips on Video Auditions

Arts environments require risk, courage, vulnerability, and investment of our physical, emotional and intellectual selves.

Venice Theatre seeks to nurture spaces with strong safety nets that support that ethos without compromising a visceral and authentic experience for artists and audiences.

We believe that even in the absence of high-risk material, having pathways for response to unsafe conditions and harassment help to maintain the integrity of the work, its participants, and the organization.

House Rules will be provided at first rehearsal and must be read and signed. Full Venice Theatre Operating Standards will also be available.
