Casting
The Weston Playhouse operates under an AEA
LORT D contract (MainStage) and AEA
LORT Experimental Theatre contract (OtherStages)
and hires for a six-show summer season. Rehearsals begin
in early June and our season concludes in mid-September
(a core cast and crew returns for an early October tour).
We maintain a company from season to season, as possible,
and with limited openings for select Equity roles and
for our
6-person non-Equity Young
Company.
The WPTC is an equal opportunity
employer and strongly encourages auditions by
actors of color, seniors, women, performers with disabilities
and other minorities.

We work with Alan Filderman Casting
in New York City. They will send out a breakdown for
agent submissions only if we are still lacking an actor
for a particular role or roles, usually in April.
A Season Breakdown
will be posted in Backstage and at Actors’
Equity at least 2 weeks in advance of auditions. Local
auditions for non-professionals including children,
will be listed as needed on our Website and in the local
press.
