AUDITIONS and INTERVIEWS

The Heritage-O'Neill Theatre Company is a professional, year 'round theatre company with concentration in the works of Eugene O'Neill:  heralded by literary and theatrical scholars as the Father of American Drama. 

We produce 2 O'Neill plays per theatrical season, 1 American classic, and 1 World Premiere / original adaptation from the finest books, novels, films, and television dramas of historic events of major importance and relevance.

Our summer OUTDOOR historic dramas are produced and presented under our official name, The Heritage Theatre Company.

Auditions and interviews may be open as our needs arise from time to time, but are generally held by invitation only.    

We will accept photographs and resumes from professional stage actors, and will consider the actor for an audition and interview based on their training and professional experience.

The following will help the actor understand our needs:

1.  We seek professional stage actors with broad and extensive experience.    

2.   We cast professional stage actors who reside within a commutable 50 mile radius of our theatres (those in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas), as there are no provisions for transportation or housing at this time. 

3.  Actors are requested not to telephone, e-mail, or visit our office or performance venues on matters pertaining to submissions or casting.

4.  Due to security precautions and computer viruses, we are unable to open e-mails from those addresses unknown to us, or e-mail attachments of photographs and/or resumes. Please use the regular mails and send your materials in care of the address noted below for casting submissions.

5.  We want extremely positive, reliable, talented, and easy-going people who are true "team players," and who are extraordinarily passionate about theatre. We value actors who are intelligent, smart, and sharp; who use their heads and think on their feet, who are willing and able to go the extra mile, and who can command and own the stage.

A Note on Invitations / Performance Attendance Requests:

One of the ways for us to become familiar with your work is to see you in actual performance.  If you are in a production which you are exceptionally proud of, and which demonstrates your best work, you may request our attendance at this production, which should include the offer of 2 free tickets at the performance of our choice and schedule availability.  We would be most happy to accommodate your request if our schedule permits.

 Thank you.  We appreciate your interest.
