ACTORS/DIRECTORS/PLAYWRIGHTS
Participate in our play reading sessions!
- Actors hone your cold reading skills through participation in our play reading group, network with fellow actors, and receive advance notice for audition calls.
- Stage directors hear new plays by some of the nation’s most promising new playwrights, expand your options for future casting needs and receive priority consideration for directing projects for future DAE productions.
- Playwrights take the opportunity to continue to develop your craft. Scripts that are selected for further consideration will have a reading session with members of our play reading group. Playwrights will be invited to sit in and receive feedback. If selected for further production, you will have the opportunity to continue to workshop your script during rehearsals with the cast and director.
So join other trained theater professionals to screen material in consideration for our future productions. We perform at various venues in the Washington, DC area throughout the year.
