Casting and Play Submission Policy

Casting/Auditions

Dorset Theatre Festival works under the SPT (Small Professional Theatre) contract with Actors Equity Association. The union determines the number of Equity and non-Equity actors in any production.

Equity Public Auditions for the summer season are generally held in March at the Dorset Playhouse in Dorset, Vermont. Audition notices are posted on the AEA Audition Center website and various trade publications.

Any further auditions in New York City are arranged through agent submissions and scheduled by a casting director.

Actors may send a photo and resume to the following addresses:

E-MAIL (preferred):

casting@dorsettheatrefestival.org

USPS:

Dorset Theatre Festival
PO Box 510
Dorset, VT 05251

We are committed to an inclusive casting policy and encourage all actors to audition regardless of an individual’s sex, race, color, religion, age, disability, status as a veteran, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.

Literary Submissions

Playwrights must submit their work through an established agent or a professional recommendation.

We are unable to accept unsolicited scripts or samples for consideration.

Submissions are accepted year-round. Unsolicited manuscripts will not be reviewed.
