Actors

The best way for us to get to know your work is to join us for an EPA (Equity Principal Audition). We hold these open auditions prior to each production. They are advertised on the AEA and major trade websites.

We take these auditions seriously and Artistic Director, Stephen Burdman, and our casting liaison attends each EPA in person.

While we are always open to seeing EMC and non-AEA actors, all EPA rules & procedures are set by AEA. If you have questions about an EPA, please click here.

NY Classical does not accept unsolicited self-tape auditions.

If you have other questions, please feel free to email auditions@nyclassical.org.

Break legs!
