Seeking bold actors who genuinely enjoy making people laugh. We're looking for a mischievous and madcap spirit. We value a diverse ensemble of unique actors who embody a collaborative "yes and" energy. Authenticity is crucial, as these characters face life-and-death situations.
The creative team behind CLUE: ON STAGE is dedicated to fostering a diverse cast and crew. We welcome individuals of all gender identities, ethnicities, racial backgrounds, sexual orientations, body types, ages, and abilities.
Please note that our audition space is accessible and free of physical barriers.

The Theatre intends to use the pro-rated rehearsal model of 2 weeks’ fee pro-rated over 3 engagement weeks, supplemented with Additional Service Payments to allow for a 35-hour work week with 2 days off, for the first 3 weeks of rehearsal.
INCLUSIVE CASTING POLICY
As an equal opportunity employer, we welcome and encourage submissions from individuals of all gender identities, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and abilities. However, there are times when the breakdown of a casting call indicates the need for a culturally-specific role, or someone with specified lived experience in order to uphold the integrity of the artistic work. If you choose, you may provide us with the pronouns you would like us to use in your submission, or any other self-identification you wish to provide. If you are a person with a disability and require assistance during the application and/or hiring process, please let us know and we will work with you to meet your needs.
