Job Details

DESCRIPTION

Princeton Summer Theater (PST) is a non-profit summer stock theater company, primarily managed by current and recent undergraduate students from the greater Princeton area (though we accept auditions from absolutely anywhere). We are seeking 4-6 versatile actors for our 2026 season!

Operated from the historic Hamilton Murray Theater on Princeton University’s campus, PST is dedicated to training the up-and-coming leaders of the theater world and offers young professionals unparalleled first-hand experience in theatermaking. PST won the 2019 JerseyArts.com People’s Choice Award for “Best Small Theater,” and our vast alumni network includes Tony Award-winning actress Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago), Tony Award-winning producer Geoff Rich (Avenue Q), Hollywood actor William Hootkins (Star Wars, Batman), and many other wonderful entertainment professionals.

Actors at Princeton Summer Theater gain valuable, semi-professional, paid acting experience by working with a caring, supportive, and vibrant group of young theatre-makers. Actors can perform in our entire season as company members or choose to participate in one or more shows independently. All actors will receive a stipend, and depending on the show, housing and meals for the duration of their rehearsal period and performances. Pay will be $500 per show or $2000 for the entire season.

Our 2026 summer season will feature 3 mainstage shows: Neil Simon’s 1960s comedic hit Barefoot in the Park, Patrick Barlow’s inventive and fast-paced thriller The 39 Steps, and True West by Pulitzer-Prize winner Sam Sheppard. Our Children’s Show this year will be You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, adapted by Clark Gesner and Andrew Lippa, with limited dates between our mainstage shows.

To apply, record a 1-2 minute contemporary comedic or dramatic monologue. Email your self-tape and a copy of your headshot and resume to [email protected] and [email protected]. Auditions are open until Friday, March 28th at 11:59 pm. Callbacks will be held virtually from March 30th - April 3rd.
