Why should your organization consider StrawHat as a talent resource?

  • Come cast your season, hire talented staff tech design candidates, research your productions in Lincoln Center, see the Broadway and off Broadway shows you may be doing next season!
  • We audition over 700 non-Equity actors, from undergraduates and MFA's to mature actors.
  • Over 80% of our auditioners receive callbacks, with an average 3 callbacks each.
  • The top 15% of performers auditioning last year received 10 or more callbacks each.
  • You receive a multi-volume set of indexed resume books presenting candidates in order of appearance.
  • You post your own callbacks, and re-audition or interview actors in your own private callback room. Actor auditions this year are a mix of song and monologue, monologue only, a general dance call; and a special dancer audition for particularly strong dancers.
  • The auditions are videotaped and are available as a DVD set to attending theatres for review or for organizations who may not be able to attend but wish to use the video and the website for their casting needs.
  • Auditions are held in the spacious, fully equipped Michael Schimmel Center at Pace University in New York City, new home to the Actors' Workshop MFA program and Bravo's Inside the Actors' Studio.

Our web site, www.strawhat-auditions.com, offers the following features & services:

  • Staff/Tech/Design provides online review of resumes and portfolios for direct contact & hiring. The portfolios may consist of audio, photos or video materials
  • We post your specified Acting and Staff/Tech/Design job listings.
  • Links to member theatre web sites for up-to-date information on production plans & schedules.
  • StrawHat Casting OnLine: a searchable database of registered Actors with pictures, resumes and other materials online.
