In scheduling your appointment, please request a time that corresponds to the above, as we may only have an accompanist for 2 hours.

All actors entering the theatre must show proof of complete vaccination and remain masked until performing.

We STRONGLY encourage people of ALL gender identities, racial backgrounds, ages, and walks of life to audition, as we feel the more inclusive the art, the more wholly the story of the human condition can be told.

As such, MadKap encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to submit.
