Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Do you hire AEA actors?
    • Yes. TampaRep works with both union (AEA) and non-union actors. For AEA, we work under the new Single Engagement Contract.

  2. Do you hire out-of-town actors?
    • Yes, we do occasionally hire out-of-town actors. However, as a Tampa-based and Tampa-centric theatre company, our strong preference is to collaborate with artists who are based in the greater Tampa Bay area.

  3. Do you house out-of-town actors?
    • We have provided housing for out-of-town actors in the past and anticipate doing so again in the future. That said, because our focus is on working with local talent (see above), housing is not always guaranteed.
  4. I don’t have much acting experience. Should I audition for TampaRep?
    • Everyone starts somewhere, and we respect the courage it takes to step into an audition room. At TampaRep, we look for actors who are ready to take part in the demands of a professional rehearsal and performance process. If you’re just beginning your journey, we ask that you build confidence through classes or other opportunities first. That way, when you do audition with us, you’ll feel prepared to share your skills at their strongest.
  5. I’ve been asked to attend a callback. What does that mean at TampaRep?
    • At TampaRep, when you come in for a callback, we hope you’ll come to PLAY. Behind the casting table, we genuinely want you to succeed. We find that works best when you are very familiar with the script and sides, so you can show us that you’re ready to make bold choices and listen and interact with your fellow actors.
    • You don’t need to be memorized. In fact, that sometimes gets in the way of being able to react genuinely in the moment, either to prompts from the director, or unexpected actions from your scene partners.
    • No need to bring a printed headshot/resume, but do make sure you’ve filled out the Artist Info Form so we have it digitally!
    • Arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment time.
    • Bring printed copies of your sides (rather than relying on a digital device).

Video Submission Guidelines

If you’ve been asked to submit a video audition, thank you for your time! To help us view your work easily and at its best, please follow these guidelines:

  • Recording Format: If you’re using your phone, record in horizontal/landscape mode (not vertical).

  • Framing: Ideally, film standing, framed from the waist up. If sitting, aim for at least chest up.

  • Scene Partners: Keep your scene partner(s) off-camera. Off-screen voices should be clear and balanced with your own.

  • Sharing Your Video: Upload your audition to a video-sharing service (YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and send us the link. Please don’t email the full video file.

  • Link Settings: Make sure your link is set to unlisted or public, so our team members can access it easily.

  • Deadlines: Unless otherwise noted, video submissions are due at least one day before the in-person audition.
  • Sides & Material:

    • If sides are available for the show, choose and record the one(s) for the role you’re most interested in.

    • If no sides are posted yet, follow the general audition guidelines for the upcoming season.

    • If neither are available, share a piece that shows us your specific strengths – something that feels authentically you.

  • TO SUBMIT: Double-check that you’ve filled out the auditions form, and email your video link to auditions@tamparep.org.

 SEEKING

TampaRep and ThinkTank Theatre are seeking a diverse ensemble of inventive, collaborative performers with strong comic timing, physical imagination, and a love of bold theatrical storytelling.

Because Peter and the Starcatcher is a highly theatrical, ensemble-driven play, casting will be flexible. Performers of all ages, races, ethnicities, gender identities, body types, and abilities are encouraged to audition. Roles will be assigned based on the needs of the ensemble, the story, and each actor’s individual strengths.

Characters include:

BOY / PETER

A nameless orphan who begins the play without a home, family, or identity, and gradually discovers courage, loyalty, and a sense of belonging. Watchful, guarded, tough, and deeply vulnerable beneath the surface. Requires openness, emotional truth, physical agility, and a strong sense of wonder.

MOLLY ASTER

A brave, intelligent, fiercely capable young leader. Molly is curious, principled, and determined to do what is right, even when the adults around her underestimate her. Requires confidence, wit, emotional availability, and the ability to balance youthful impatience with real courage.

BLACK STACHE

A theatrical, dangerous, wildly comic pirate in search of a great hero to define his own villainy. Grand, literate, flamboyant, ruthless, and absurdly self-dramatizing. Requires major comic skill, verbal dexterity, physical boldness, and a fearless sense of play.

GREMPKIN

The cruel schoolmaster of St. Norbert’s Orphanage for Lost Boys. Harsh, petty, mean-spirited, and comfortable abusing whatever little power he has. A character role requiring sharp comic villainy and physical/verbal precision.

MRS. BUMBRAKE

Molly’s devoted nanny. Proper, British, protective, and unexpectedly flirtatious when romance appears. Requires comic timing, warmth, and the ability to play heightened theatrical style without losing sincerity.

BILL SLANK

The vicious captain of the Neverland. Greedy, brutal, self-serving, and dangerously incompetent as a leader. A villainous character role requiring menace, physical presence, and dark comic energy.

SMEE

Black Stache’s loyal first mate. Eager, busy, devoted, and fully committed to carrying out his captain’s every ridiculous command. Requires strong comic timing, quick reactions, and excellent ensemble instincts.

PRENTISS

One of the orphans. Ambitious, talkative, logical, and desperate to be seen as a leader, though he may not really have the courage or natural authority for it. Requires sharp comic delivery and a clear sense of insecurity under the bluster.

TED

One of the orphans. Food-obsessed, funny, imaginative, and emotionally open. Ted brings warmth and humor to the group and often says exactly what he is thinking. Requires charm, comic timing, and strong ensemble play.

LORD LEONARD ASTER

Molly’s father. A proper Victorian gentleman, loyal to Queen and country, and devoted to his daughter. Also a Starcatcher, entrusted with protecting the world from the power of starstuff. Requires authority, warmth, elegance, and a sense of secret adventure.

CAPTAIN ROBERT FALCON SCOTT

The proud captain of the Wasp, Britain’s fastest ship. Confident, military, and grandly heroic in the British imperial mode. Requires crisp comic style, authority, and strong ensemble work.

ALF

An old sailor with a kind heart, rough edges, and surprising romantic appeal. Earthy, funny, and warmer than he first appears. Requires charm, physical comedy, and genuine sweetness.

MACK

A bad sailor stuck under Bill Slank’s command and deeply unhappy about it. Comic, nervous, and eager to be somewhere else. Requires strong ensemble timing and character specificity.

FIGHTING PRAWN

King of the Mollusks. Proud, vengeful, theatrical, and deeply hostile toward the English because of his past mistreatment. Requires bold comic presence, vocal confidence, and the ability to play heightened language with commitment.

HAWKING CLAM

Fighting Prawn’s son and heir to the Clam throne. A smaller but specific comic role that should feel fully part of the Mollusk world. Requires strong ensemble play and character imagination.

TEACHER

An ancient, knowledgeable mermaid who was formerly a salmon. Wise, strange, magical, and comic. Requires imagination, clarity, and the ability to make a brief appearance memorable.

ENSEMBLE

A highly active storytelling ensemble that creates the world of the play through narration, movement, music, objects, language, and theatrical invention. Ensemble members may play sailors, pirates, seamen, natives, mermaids, narrators, and other figures throughout the story. Requires strong collaboration, physical imagination, vocal clarity, comic timing, and comfort with fast-paced theatrical transformation.

SEEKING

TampaRep is seeking only the strongest actors for Burn This. This production requires emotional depth, strong chemistry, fearless listening, and the ability to move between humor, grief, desire, and volatility without forcing the moment. We are looking for actors who can bring fully alive, truthful, and specific performances to an intimate theatrical space.

Actors of all races and ethnicities are encouraged to audition.

ANNA

Actor to play a woman in her 30s-40s.
A dancer and choreographer grieving the sudden death of her close friend and collaborator. Intelligent, guarded, sensual, funny, and searching. Anna is trying to understand who she is as an artist and as a person after a destabilizing loss. Requires emotional availability, intelligence, stillness, and the ability to reveal deep feeling without overstatement.

PALE

Actor to play a man in his 30-50s.
Robbie’s older brother, a restaurant manager from New Jersey. Explosive, charismatic, grieving, funny, dangerous, and unexpectedly vulnerable. Pale enters like a force of nature, but the role requires more than volume or volatility; it needs humor, pain, sensuality, intelligence, and the ability to expose the wound underneath the chaos.

LARRY

Actor to play a man in his 30s-40s.
Anna’s roommate and Robbie’s friend. Witty, observant, stylish, protective, and emotionally perceptive. Larry brings humor and sharpness into the room, but he is not comic relief.

Actor to play a man in his 30s-40s.
Anna’s longtime boyfriend, a successful screenwriter. Smart, articulate, composed, and emotionally limited in ways he may not fully understand.

Requires charm, intelligence, restraint, and emotional specificity.

 SEEKING

JACK LUDWIG (male, any race/ethnicity but most likely white, 25-35)

A U.S. Army Captain and military doctor during WWII. Reserved and stoic, Jack is a man of few words, displaying quiet strength, duty, and intelligence. He balances professionalism with a sincere emotional core felt through his letters. Jack is initially guarded and distant, shaped by military life and the tragedies of war. As his correspondence with Louise grows, he gradually allows his affection and vulnerability to emerge, offering audiences a nuanced journey from restraint to heartfelt connection.

LOUISE RABINER (female, any race/ethnicity but most likely white, 20-30)

An aspiring actress, singer, and dancer living in New York City. Louise is outgoing, talkative, expressive. She wears her heart on her sleeve and conveys spirited ambition alongside genuine warmth and humor. Louise brings light and theatrical flair to Jack’s more introverted world in contrast and complement to Jack’s steadiness. This role requires vocal variety, comedic timing, and emotional transparency.

GOD OF CARNAGE

by Yasmina Reza

SEEKING

VERONICA NOVAK (female, any race/ethnicity, 35-55)

A writer – she pictures herself as the queen of social conscience and common courtesy – but is really judgmental and domineering.  As the situation disintegrates, she fails to maintain her crumbling façade of civility.

MICHAEL NOVAK (male, any race/ethnicity, 35-55)

Initially eager to create peace, his uncouth nature is slowly revealed. He makes racial comments, denounces child-raising, and progresses from a seemingly good-natured wholesale supplier/salesperson to a neurotic Neanderthal.

ANNETTE RALEIGH (female, any race/ethnicity, 35-55)

At first presenting herself as an elite member of the one percent, she is actually on the brink of a panic attack.  Her self-confidence has been eroded by her husband Alan’s eternal preoccupation with work. (Note – This role requires the actor to believably “vomit” on stage.) 

ALAN RALEIGH (male, any race/ethnicity, 35-55)

An openly rude corporate lawyer, he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone.  As he says, “I have no manners”.   At first seen as cool and aloof, he is sexist and always acts in his own self-interest.
