Season Casting
Auditions for the 2011/2012 season at Burning Coal will be held on Saturday, June 11th from 10 am to 6 pm. At that time, an open audition will be held and actors may reserve a 5 minute time slot, in advance, to come in and show us their stuff! Occasionally, we have openings for roles during the year, but most are cast out of these auditions. If you miss the season auditions, you may send in your headshot & resume or a letter of interest. Please note if you are interested in working in areas besides acting, too.
Check out the 2010/2011 Season!
