GENERAL CASTING INFORMATION
If you're the type who annoys your friends and family by constantly shouting out the right answers while watching Jeopardy, if you can finish the NYT crossword puzzle in less than 15 minutes, if you're genuinely interested in history and literature, and get a kick out of learning new things every day, then you might feel right at home working with the GreatWorks team.

We hold a round of season auditions in summer 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.
