Practice that monologue--

Audition in front of reps from 14 theater companies!

Our season will feature 14 one-act world premieres -- so each role gives the actor the opportunity to bring a character to life for the first time.

Even if you aren't chosen for one of these plays, the directors from our participating companies may realize you're perfect for one of their shows.

Each play will have five performances during one of the weekends of the festival.

Auditions will be in the Genesius theater at Duquesne University, home of the Pittsburgh New Works Festival. Auditioners will perform a 2-minute monologue.
