Send an AUDITION Notice
- The Capdist-Auditions mailing list is for auditions, castings, classes, workshops, theater camps, lessons, calls for original work, production staff, crew, designers, artists, or other theater makers. Do not send performance notices to this list.
- If your event requires a fee to participate, include the words “Fee Required” or “Tuition Based Program” in the subject of the email.
- Notices should be limited to the following timelines:
- When the event is more than 1 month away, send the notice no more than once per month.
- When the event is less than 1 month away, send the notice no more than once per week.
- When the event is less than 1 week away, send the notice no more than 3 times.
- If you are accepting rolling submissions or your notice has no specific end date or due, you may send the notice no more than twice per month.
- Sending the same notice over and over doesn’t get you more attention, it just gets your notice ignored and annoys the members of the list.
- The notice will be sent to our moderators for review. Moderators can only approve or reject your announcement, they cannot make changes. Notices are generally approved within 24 hours.
- Do not address the notice to the moderators. Your audience for this announcement should be the members of the mailing list. Starting your email with “please post” or “please distribute” is unnecessary.
- Due to list settings, you most likely will not receive a copy of the approved notice as a member of the mailing list, but the notice will appear in our archives once it has been approved OR you will receive an email notifying you if it has been rejected.
- Send your notice to capdist-auditions@capdisttheater.org for review and approval.
