As you fill out the StrawHat applications, you may have some questions after reading the information sheets. While we admit we get a chuckle out of some of the questions we get, or how some of the applications are filled out, we strongly believe that there are no stupid questions - so if you don't see it here, ask away via email.
If you need to reach us the week of the auditions, please use our email address info@strawhat-auditions.com. Please do not contact Pace University for information about auditions or accommodations. For automated telephone directions only, you may call (212) 346-1133.
Go to the actor or staff tech application page and use the Reset Username/Password link.
Go to the change actor application link - you can print from there. Staff Tech Design applicants do not have to print out their application.
There are no walk-ins or standbys. No one attends the auditions without
an appointment. We have always run the auditions this way.
Stand-by slots are available, but are strictly limited. If you indicate that
you will accept a stand-by appointment, you must be available for the entire
day, as you will step in at short notice to take the place of a cancellation
or "no show". Stand-bys who check in for the appointed audition will
be guaranteed an audition and their pictures and resumes will appear in that
day’s book. Only those applicants who are selected and invited will be
allowed to come in on stand-by. Again, you will have an audition, but we cannot
guarantee at what point in the day your opportunity will arise.
No. All actors that get an audition are pre-screened. Your audition
time is yours alone and cannot be transferred to another actor
.

The deadline is Saturday, February 18, 2008. Don't delay for these reasons:
It's a technology age, so perhaps many of you don't know what this is. Once upon a time, there was an institution called the Post Office... okay, couldn't resist. When you send us a self addressed stamped #10 envelope, please do the following:
Every actor who registers for StrawHat gets their picture, profile and resume online. Those who are chosen to audition have 8X10 picture and full resumes printed in books that the producers use during the audition. The point is that your picture is seen alot, and it should be of good quality to "compete" with others of good quality.
We prefer black and white photos to color, but either will do. We scan and print our books in black and white. As for laser copies, they should only be used as a last resort. The quality is usually poor for scanning and print and if we don't think they will work your application may not be considered.
What happens if I send you just a picture and resume?
Nothing. We only accept complete applications.

Sure, no problem. But if you bring your own accompanist, do yourself a favor
and make sure he/she arrives on time to meet you, and stays with you through
the audition. You have enough to think about without running around wondering
where your accompanist is. Our accompanists have been great, Broadway caliber;
and as long as it isn't something a Julliard student would take the morning
to read, you have adequate backup.
