Equity Principal Auditions for Steppenwolf Theatre Company are scheduled annually through Actors' Equity Association. These usually take place each January for the upcoming production season. Information regarding these auditions is posted on the AEA website. Non-Equity and EMC actors are invited to “crash” the Equity Principal Auditions and will be seen based on available appointments not reserved by AEA members.
Auditions for individual productions are by invited appointments only. Calls for submissions are frequently posted on Actors Access and through Breakdown Services.
Steppenwolf Theatre Company is committed to creating an organization that deeply values and draws strength from the various stories and storytellers that make up our society. The majority of characters currently encountered adhere to the gender binary, using he/him or she/her pronouns. Despite these limitations in descriptions, our casting aims to be as inclusive as possible. We welcome submissions from gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors for roles that resonate with their identities.
How to submit: Actors should submit updated headshots and resumes to casting@steppenwolf.org. Electronic submissions must be formatted correctly to be considered. Both resume and picture should be in a PDF format as one attachment and your name must appear on your picture. PDF should be named Lastname_Firstname.pdf (e.g. Doe_Jane.pdf). Please note your current city of residence in your email.
Please, no phone calls.
