Are you an actor? 
Are you local to the Providence, RI area?
Are you non-equity? 
Are you interested in collaborating on adventurous new writing? 
Are you into making art with cool people? 

We are casting a diverse, local, non-equity ensemble of performers to collaborate with MFA playwrights at Brown University as they write new pieces for performance. We are looking for individuals who are game to experiment, committed to creative collaboration, and interested in performing new writing. 

The Ensemble will operate in two segments. We ask that you only audition for the Fall segment if you think you can be available for BOTH segments, though they will be cast and paid separately: 

• Fall 2025 (Sept-Dec): 5 4-hour weekday evening “incubator” workshops (one-off experiments staging short pieces) over the course of the fall semester. Pay: $600 total per ensemble member.

• Winter-Spring 2026 (Jan-March): Ensemble actors will be considered for casting in full-length productions and readings in the annual Writing is Live Festival (March 4-8). Rehearsals start in late January. Pay: varies with time commitment of various projects (readings, staged readings, productions).
