PATA invites you to participate in the 2023 Online Citywide General Auditions.
Actor registration will be open from February 27th – March 17th.
Registration:
Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email containing a link to the online audition submission form.
There will be two form options – one that requires a Google account log in and allows you to upload your headshot and resume (binder materials) via the form, and one that does not require a log in but does not have the option to upload your binder materials. If you use the second form, you can email your headshot and resume to be included in the binder.
Your submission will be shared with all registered auditors. You will also receive a list of auditors so you can see who you virtually auditioned for.
You must complete the audition submission form before the end of the day on March 17th, 2023 in order for your audition to be shared with auditors.
