The ITA will conduct its 35th Annual Statewide Non-Equtiy Professional Auditions on Saturday, February 8th, and Sunday, February 9th, 2014 at the University of Illinois at Chicago's School of Theatre and Music (1044 W. Harrison St. in Chicago). Saturday's auditions will focus on musical theatre and Sunday's on non-musical theatre. This year we hope to see more than 300 actors over the two days --This is a WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW LOTS OF TALENT IN A COMFORTABLE SETTING! PLEASE JOIN US!

Casting Representative Information, including on-line registration is available by clicking here (www.illinoistheatre.org/auditions).

This year's audition format will be comprised of the following:

Audition Schedule: Saturday auditions focus on musical theatre. Sunday auditions focus on non-musical theatre only.

Dance Audition: Saturday auditions will include a dance audition which allows musical performers a chance to showcase this aspect of their talent, and give musical theatre representatives a chance to better evaluate all of the performer's skills.

Audition Times and Format: The actor's audition time limit will be one and one-half (1 ½) minutes to conform with the standard in large general auditions, and to allow more actors to be seen. Actors may use the audition time in a way that best showcases individual talents. Musical theatre performers are to both sing and perform a portion of a monologue. Non-musical theatre performers are encouraged, though not required, to present two (2) contrasting pieces showcasing their range.

Theatre companies from throughout the state and beyond are invited to send casting representatives to this event. Inquiries may be made by phoning Executive Director Aimee-Lynn Newlan at 312-265-5922, or by visiting www.illinoistheatre.org.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! We have the actors... NOW WE JUST NEED YOU!

We will serve you breakfast and lunch on both days. Coffee/tea and snacks will be a plenty! You will also receive a binder full of all auditionees headshots/resumes.
