“LCT is offering these auditions free to the theatre community,” says Ted Weill, Artistic Director of the Falcon Theatre, and event co-chair.

Lynn D. Meyers, Artistic Director of Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati states, “We are at the Unifieds each year to see our practicing local actors. I hang on to these resumes. I have seen talented actors at the Unifieds that I might have otherwise missed.”

Monday, March 17th will be reserved primarily for Equity performers. Saturday is primarily for non-Equity actors. Auditions will take place at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

Actors will have two minutes to perform two contrasting monologues or a monologue and a song. An accompanist will be provided. No CDs.

For Technical Interviews, please bring a portfolio and/or photos of your work and a resume if you are a designer. For Stage Managers or other stage crew, bring a resume. Interviewees will have 10 minutes with the theatre representatives.
