Auditioners should bring 20 copies of their headshot and résumé, prepare two contrasting monologues of one-minute each, and if musically inclined be prepared to sing 16 bars a cappela. Both Equity and non-Equity actors are invited. An appointment can be scheduled by calling Southern Rep at (504)-522-6545.

Southern Rep Artistic Director Aimée Hayes noted, "City-wide open call auditions haven't been held since the storm. There are so many new and local actors and performers in town seeking ways to audition and meet up with directors and producers. This is a chance for them to introduce themselves to everyone at once and for us to get a look at the new talent in town. Also actors in town that work primarily for one company can be seen by new producers. Finally, it's a great opportunity for local theatre companies to catch up with each other and touch base about their upcoming seasons. Hanging out at the bar after award shows doesn't count!"

Southern Rep Theatre is located at 365 Canal Street on the Third Floor in The Shops at Canal Place. For more information, please call (504) 522-6545.
