If you are someone that works onstage as well as backstage then we recommend you fill out both of these forms and be sure to send us two separate resumes that highlights your skills and experience in each area.
I want to cast or hire ...
Within the password protected page there is information on how to sort the database as well as a section filled with headshots and resumes that can be easily scrolled through. If you would like access to our databases please send us an email and we'll happily provide annual access for a small fee. If you attend our Group Auditions, access to the database is included for the next year. NOTE: As of November 2022, we have removed the annual fee for access to our database at least until such time as we have resumed pre-pandemic operations of our website. If you are casting or otherwise hiring for theater in Maine and would like access, simply feel free to email us for the password.
Have you joined our Facebook group?
The Maine Theater Collective Facebook Group there are multiple theaters throughout the State of Maine posting about a variety of things. This includes audition notices. In order to post you will need to request to join the group and we will review to make sure you are not a spam account before adding you. There is a rule that no single company can post about the same thing more than once a week so we do try to avoid you feeling constantly bombarded about the same event.
Group Auditions?
Portland Stage has historically hosted local auditions for actors in the Greater Portland community. The goal was for multiple local theater organizations to be involved so that one could audition once for everyone. New as of 2019, there was also an Offstage Mingle for people that do everything but act (direct, designer, stage manage, etc.). Our third round of Group Auditions was in early December 2019. Since the pandemic began, we haven't been holding group auditions; however, as we slowly return to pre-pandemic website operations in 2023, we may be reaching out about beginning to plan these again.
If you are outside of the Greater Portland area and you want to organize your own group auditions, let us know and we'll see how we can help!
