Audition Location: Broadway United Methodist Church 3338 N Broadway. BUMC is wheelchair accessible and has an elevator to reach the audition space..
The auditions will consist of readings from the scripts. A link to the sides will be sent when your appointment is scheduled. Actors will choose one side they wish to use to audition, and prepare that. It is not necessary to prepare all the sides, just pick one for the audition. A reader will be present.
When submitting, please let us know your accessibility needs.
A note about characters-characters in these nine shows run the gamut of human experience, and as such, we are looking for actors that do the same. EFCT is committed to casting that reflects the world we live in and the community we are a part of. Therefore, BIPOC, AAPI, Latine actors, actors of all gender identities, abilities, and body types are invited to audition for any character.

There will be mandatory in person rehearsals at Broadway United Methodist Church Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 2/2-2/12, with a designer run from 12:30-6 on 2/14.
