Auditioning for Commercial Theatre.
Fri, 20 Aug 2010, 08:51 amI was wondering how one goes about finding out about auditions for commercial theatre in Perth. For example Barking Gecko, Black Swan, Perth Theatre companies and companies that do shows at the blue room or even downstairs at the maj. I'm looking at their websites but I am not finding much in the way of audition notices. Is there a site like this but for commercial theatre? Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I assume for Barking Gecko,

Ie. a number of people have over time announced their auditions for performances - to be shown at the Blue Room - here on this site.
Professional theatre tends to be as 'secretive' as film/TV in that they don't regularly advertise auditions. They usually hire through agencies, or via word of mouth. A good idea is to get on the mailing list for companies you'd like to audition for and perhaps submit a CV for their files.
And yeah, my standard reply: go read the FAQ.
