AUDITIONS/CASTING
We hold annual open calls for each season through Equity Principal Auditions (EPAs), which are posted on the Actors' Equity Associate website each spring. While AEA members are given priority and can make appointments in advance, we typically have time to see all walk up non-union members, as well.
Outside of EPAs, we generally audition for specific roles by invitation only. We are happy to accept year round casting submissions. To be added to our casting database for future consideration, please fill out this form:

Summer on Stage is a full-day (9:00am - 4:00pm) theatre arts enrichment program designed for students (rising third graders through fifteen years) to explore and develop their creativity through classes, games, and collaborative script building. The program is divided into two sessions:
-
Session I: June 30 – July 18 (no camp on July 4) at Delaware Theatre Company in Wilmington
-
Session II: July 21 – August 8 at St. Edmond's Academy in N. Wilmington
Each session culminates in a final sharing performance, where students present their work through skits, 10-minute plays, and/or stage-related crafts. These performances celebrate the skills and creativity developed throughout the session.
