Auditions
Thank you for your interest in auditioning for A.D. Players at The George.
The Equity Principal Audition [EPA] for our 2025-2026 season titles is scheduled for Monday, April 21, 12:00-9:00p. (There will be a one-hour meal break 4-5p.) We will see adult actors (ages 17+) in pre-assigned slots. Go to https://signup.com/go/QJsqsQb to sign-up. Walk-ins will be seen as space allows. Please note that while we are only offering one day. A.D. Players will also be attending the Houston-wide Alliance Auditions in June 2025.
Actors should prepare either two contrasting monologues OR one monologue and one 16-bar song cut, for a total of no more than three minutes total. Those who chose to sing should bring sheet music in the proper key and with any cuts clearly marked for our live piano accompanist. (Please do not sing a capella or to a track.) Information for each individual season show, including general dates and character breakdowns, are below.
The EPA is open to both union and non-union actors, though we must give first priority to members of Actors' Equity Association [AEA] and its sister unions. Our preference is to cast actors who live in or are connected to the local Houston area.
