Out of town actors wishing to audition in San Rafael before February may send photo & resume to management@marinShakespeare.org along with information about when you would be available for an audition appointment. At the artistic director’s discretion, an appointment may be scheduled after your resume is received.

They are particularly interested in actors with extensive outdoor Shakespeare experience. Some housing for out of town AEA actors is available.
