An HonesThespian reader recently asked, “What is a reliable website for finding auditions, intensives, and jobs?”

I use Playbill the most in order to find auditions. It’s very reliable in giving you all the information you need to know like pay rate, if housing is available, etc. Backstage.com is a great website as well. Another good resource for auditions and classes is Facebook. Search Theatre in your area (e.g. “Theatre in Florida”) or Audition Groups in your area. You will find a plethora of options you can pursue to help achieve your dreams.

When I look for auditions in New York, I go to Backstage.com, Playbill.com and BroadwayWorld.com, they’re great! You can also use those search engines or Backstage Magazine if you live elsewhere in the country. You can search by the state you live in. If you’re by chance looking to go to Minneapolis, I know they have their own website which is MNPlaylist.com and Chicago has one too, it’s TheatreInChicago.com/auditions. I would also ask friends or people in the business if you are going to a different city because chances are, the city has its own website where local theatres post their auditions.
