Palo Alto Players casts each production from an open call of local artists. As part of our commitment to become a more IDEAL community theatre (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access, and Liberation), Palo Alto Players is looking for strong representation of BIPOC artists and artists of other underrepresented identities in our productions. We see diversity in casting and production staffing (colorful and identity-conscious) as the key to true equity. We are not looking to focus our storytelling on one cultural identity or another, but rather focus on telling a season of stories (old and new) with artists as diverse as our community. This means ensuring our audiences the opportunity to see people whom they identify with both on our stage and behind the scenes.
Current Auditions
Auditions for THE ADDAMS FAMILY are now complete. Thank you to everyone who came out to share their talent with us.
Auditions for our next production, CLUE, will be announced here and on our social media channels in the coming months. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and sign up for our Auditions Email List below to be the first to know when the call goes out.
How Auditions Work
Each show’s audition announcement includes the character breakdown, required material, appointment sign-up, rehearsal and performance dates, and any video-submission option. Most roles are volunteer, non-AEA, with a per diem offered to adult actors to help offset expenses. Auditions, callbacks, and rehearsals are held at the Lucie Stern Theater, 1305 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto 94301.
