2012–13 Auditions

We have announced our call for auditions for our 2012–13 season. See General Auditions for more info.

Gorey Stories

We are hiring a music director/pianist/performer for the Oct./Nov. production of Gorey Stories.  This is a paid position, contracted late Sep. through the end of Nov. with a sliding scale of commitment from beginning to end. We anticipate needing this artist 1/2x a week for the first few weeks to increase as the show goes into technical rehearsals. Rehearsals to be arranged evenings and weekends, and are slightly flexible to accommodate the right candidate. Shows are Thu. – Sat at 8pm, Sun. at 4. Show runs for 4 weeks with an option of a 5th should sales warrant it. Duties include musical direction, accompaniment and conducting two other musicians: a percussionist and bassist.  Comfort with filling in choral numbers and possibly aiding with "bits" during a production a plus. Must be okay to be on stage in costume and full make-up. Fans of Edward Gorey, Tim Burton, Dresden Dolls, The Tiger Lillies and so on should please drop everything and get in touch with us immediately. :)  Write to with a current resume.  Interviews to occur as resumes are received.

General Auditions

Jobsite Theater's General Auditions will take place on Sun., May 20 from 11am to 3pm in the Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center. Currently ALL AUDITION SLOTS ARE FULL. If you were not able to get a slot, you may arrive to the front doors of the Shimberg at 11am and be seen on a first-come, first-served "stand-by" basis, should we be running ahead of schedule or in the event of no-shows. We can make no guarantees that you will be able to be seen, but will do everything we can to see everyone we can up until 3pm.

Stand-by performers will need to:

  • prepare two memorized, contrasting one-minute monologues (one contemporary, one classical), and
  • bring to the audition four copies of their current resume and headshot.
