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.
Not necessarily. I've

However, knowing the kinds of shows they perform, when and where, you can plan ahead. For instance, if you notice a pattern in their season timetable - March, September, December - then you can call them up a few months beforehand when they're likely to be seeking actors. Likewise, you can find out when/if they receive a grant; which means they have funding in place to begin a new show and will be looking for actors sometime soon. Etc etc.
Mailing lists are more about research than about audition notices.
