Casting Resources File 9.26.14 original post 9.12.16 edit Official Angelwood Pictures Audition Information added ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Neith C Juch September 26 at 8:07am · Edited Lots of great links to search for casting notices (you will always find that there are more notices in NYC then New England except for on the first three links, some have fees to submit but are free to search on or post notices for union members only... look through them and if you like a part search online for that job and you may friend a free submission method or a non-union audition date. Also, know that there may be plenty of great professional opportunities mixed with anything from first time casual filmmakers to scams, you have to investigate a bit on your own and make your own judgement calls): http://newenglandfilm.com/jobs.htm NewEnglandFilm.com http://www.netheater411.com/auditions.asp (mostly community theatre) http://www.stagesource.com (members only, often the only place to find professional theatres in the area posting non-AEA castngs) StageSource http://mandy.com/1/castings.cfm (totally free, check each state near you) http://actorsaccess.com/projects/?view=breakdowns&region=2 (free to browse, annual membership or $2/submission) http://www.backstage.com/casting/?min_age=1&max_age=17&union_statu s=&location=&geo=&radius=50&q=&sort_by=newest&page=1 (free to browse, monthly fee to submit) http://playbill.com/jobs/find/#job_search_form (searches aren't working well all of a sudden, but I've often found theatre and other roles listed here for free when they are also posted on sites that charge to submit) http://www.actorsequity.org/CastingCall/castingcallhome.asp (use “since sunday” to see all of the recent notices, or search by region/town, this is for AEA union professional theatres, some will post notices for non-union audition dates and if it's a regional theatre in New England you can likely search and find a way to submit if you aren't a union member) http://www.broadwayworld.com/nonequity.cfm?added=on http://www.broadwayworld.com/equity.cfm?added=on (theatre listings by
non union then union) _______________________________________________ Facebook Groups (they will often have more posts that aren't casting notices than ones that are, but anytime a production posts their own call there's usually a free way to submit and a direct source for questions or more details... if you see a shared notice from within facebook, go to the source of the "share" and you might see all your questions answered in the comments!)
