Be Our Fan!SETC State Screening Auditions 2009
Spring Professional Auditions
The SETC conducts one of the country’s largest combined auditions. Approximately 85 companies gather at our Annual Convention to audition over 800 actors. To be eligible to audition as a professional you must be 18 years of age or older, not be currently enrolled in school and have had a minimum of two paid professional jobs in live theatre since completing your training. Dancer Only Auditions also occur at the Spring Convention.
Screening for Pre-Professionals and College Students
Individuals (including students) interested in auditioning at the Spring Auditions who do not meet the above professional qualifications must first audition and be passed on at the state level before being allowed to audition as a part of the Spring Auditions.
Alabama auditions will be held at the University of Montevallo on Saturday, October 17. There will be a MANDATORY briefing at 7:30am for all auditionees. Registration opens on the SETC website on September 15. Once auditionees have registered, they should watch their email for important updates from Jen Nelson Lane, the State Screenings Auditions Coordinator.
If you are in production on the day of the screening auditions, you MUST contact April Marshall at the SETC Central Offices soon as possible for reassignment to another state’s screening auditions. ONLY auditionees with proof of being in a production on the day of the Alabama screening auditions will be eligible for reassignment through the SETC auditions committee.
If your college or university is interested in having the SAC come in before the auditions to conduct a “Nail That Audition” workshop with your students, please contact Jen Nelson to set that up. This workshop will provide auditionees with a sneak-peek of what to expect the day of the screening auditions and will answer questions about the process. Your institution will be asked to reimburse for mileage from Montevallo.
Adults not registered in a college or university MAY also go through state screening auditions if they are seeking work from professional companies at SETC. They should have a director from wherever they do theatre (community theatre, for instance) sign the application for them. If they already have 2 professional credits, they may choose to go through professional auditions instead of screening auditions.
Please watch the ACT website and the Facebook page for more updates. You are encouraged to register early!
