General auditions
Firehouse Theatre invites you to General Auditions for our 2025/26 season on Monday, March 31st and Tuesday, April 1st from 6pm - 10pm. We seek a diverse roster of collaborative, hardworking, kind, inspired, and inspiring actors, who are ready to support one another and invest in the overall success of the projects and the organization. Firehouse supports playwrights and directors in their visions for both culturally-appropriate and non-traditional casting. Actors from general auditions may be invited to show-specific auditions later in the season, and may be offered roles in new play readings and workshops throughout the season.
Firehouse is seeking AEA (Equity) and non-Equity actors. Equity actors will be on an AEA Special Appearance Tier Two Contract. All non-Equity Mainstage performers will be paid between $1,400 - $2,100 per contract, commensurate with the size of the role and experience. Out-of-town actors are welcome to audition, but housing is rarely included. New work readings and workshops provide actors a stipend ranging from $150 - $250.
Please prepare either:
One (1) 2-minute contemporary monologue
Two (2) contrasting 1-minute contemporary monologues
16-32 bars of a contemporary musical theatre song, and one (1) 1-minute contemporary monologue
Please choose material that best showcases you and your talents. Please bring a headshot and resume to your audition.
Rehearsals are typically weekday evenings and weekends. Performances are Thursday through Saturday evenings, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
