2011-2012 AUDITIONS
We've conducted our first round of 2011-2012 auditions, and will likely be scheduling a second round this winter if we see the need to add performers in order to cover dates.

If you're interested in being considered for an audition slot, please forward your headshot/resume to :

OUR PROCESS
GreatWorks has a roster of thirteen touring productions for grade school and middle school audiences, including THE BFG, a modern adaptation of CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE GIVER, and an improv-style history of America, 50 STATES IN 60 MINUTES.

Our season auditions are held in late winter for the following school year, with call-backs scheduled between 2 and 4 months prior to a given show going in to rehearsal. Auditions utilize readings of actual GreatWorks scripts rather than monologues (though if you've got the "Ruthie" monologue from American Buffalo and are dying to do it, we'll probably say ok, just to break things up a bit...).

Shows generally perform on weekday mornings during the school year, with occasional weekend or overnight bookings. Tour schedule is usually finalized 3-5 weeks before performances begin. Rehearsals are held at various locations in Chicago, usually for a period of a few weeks (a few nights or weekend mornings per week).

We employ a color-blind casting policy for non-ethnic specific roles. All roles are paid, with very competitive performance salaries.

If selected for an audition spot, we'll contact you with a time and location and forward any materials you might need.

If you don't have a pdf or Word version of your resume and a web-friendly headshot, please mail your materials to our office address:
