ZACH Theatre hires over 100 AEA (Actors’ Equity Association) and Non-Equity actors each season, and 98% of these actors reside right here in Austin and Central Texas. Our casting philosophy is to hire from Austin and our region first and foremost. ZACH Theatre also casts some principal and chorus dancer featured roles in New York City, after the announcement of our upcoming season. Annual AEA season auditions are held in NYC once each spring, and also for some specific shows throughout the year.

Auditions typically occur three to four months before that show’s first rehearsal. We also accept video auditions, Agent submissions, as well as headshot/resumes via email to auditions@zachtheatre.org.
