ACTORS 

Actors should prepare a 60-second monologue. Each actor will present their piece for the room, and representatives from participating companies may give one or two directions to see how the actor works. To make this work easier, actors are asked to bring a printed copy of their monologue. Actors can find full instructions and submit headshots and résumés at:

(Registered actors will receive an audition time within the 9:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m. window.)

HISTORY 

Dallas theatre icon Jac Alder (Theatre Three) began hosting combined auditions more than 20 years ago. The event was later streamlined and moved to the Bath House Cultural Center, where Liz Ware helped organize an open, community-wide day that connected actors and producers across companies. 

New Echo Producer Liz Ware is organizing this event in 2025, aiming to create a welcoming space where the theatre community can meet, collaborate, and discover new artists.
