Walnut Street Theatre is dedicated to the casting and employment of local Philadelphia-based talent. The information on this page will be updated as the season progresses when new information becomes available! Casting for each production begins locally. We hold multiple open calls/EPAs for the season each spring, both in Philadelphia and New York in accordance with Actors' Equity Association. Information about these auditions and other calls will be posted through AEA, Theatre Philadelphia, Backstage, and Playbill. All other auditions are held throughout the year on a show-by-show basis and are scheduled by appointment only. Walnut Street Theatre contracts with both union and non-union talent.
For general consideration, please submit your headshot and resume to our Casting Database to be kept on file HERE.
Walnut Street Theatre is an equal opportunity employer. As such, we encourage performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, body types, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to submit for consideration.
