Auditions

AUDITIONS

Constellation Stage & Screen is committed to an inclusive approach to casting. Actors of all types and abilities are encouraged to submit for the role with which they identify. Constellation takes pride in hiring local (Bloomington/Indianapolis-area) artists, but there are occasionally opportunities for non-local guest artists.

Constellation Casting Database Launch

Constellation Stage & Screen is launching a new digital casting database this summer! Local actors interested in being considered for productions, readings and other special projects are encouraged to submit their headshot and resume via this link to create an Actor Profile.

Actors have the opportunity to share their singing/dancing/acting reels, as well as special skills, and other information making it easier for our artistic team to identify candidates for upcoming projects.

Young actors under the age of 18 are required to provide parent/guardian contact information.

Constellation’s database is a private system and not accessible or searchable by the public. However, information submitted to the database (except personal contact details) may be shared with creative team members (directors, musical directors, choreographers, writers) during the audition process for each project.

We encourage all local actors to submit their materials for casting consideration! Questions? Please reach out to Kate Galvin, Casting Director, at casting@seeconstellation.org.
