If you do not meet the Equity criteria, or you are a Membership Candidate (EMC) you may apply under the Non-Equity criteria to be considered for a Non-Equity audition slot.
Format for Headshot and Resume Submissions
Your resume should be professionally formatted to feature your stage experience and qualifying credits:
A. Resume must include your name & contact information.
B. Resume must be attached to the non-photo side of your headshot by either printing directly on the headshot (preferred) or attaching your paper resume with glue or staples (top & bottom). Resumes MUST be trimmed to fit 8 x 10 headshot, otherwise they will NOT be accepted.

Review Committee
A committee of actors & artistic personnel will review equity applications. The committee reserves the right to verify any resume credits and contact Actor’s Equity Association to verify AEA status. Applying to the Unified Auditions as an Equity applicant is not a guarantee of acceptance if it is determined that you do not meet the above listed criteria.
The Audition
Equity auditions will be scheduled for the first half of Monday with non-Equity auditions following. Tuesday will be non-Equity and Wednesday will be for Emerging Actors/College Graduates.
