Auditions

Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival auditions are open to all – from experienced performers to those stepping on stage professionally for the first time. We are always thrilled to welcome new talent to our productions!

Auditions for adult (age 18+) union and non-union performers are held periodically throughout the year.

We advocate for diversity throughout our organization and strongly encourage auditions from members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
