What they are looking for
Theatre Raleigh is casting Jonathan Larson's Rent, directed and choreographed by Eamon Foley, with casting by Eric Woodall, CSA. They are seeking Equity actors of any ethnicity for the principal roles: Mark, Roger, Mimi, Maureen and Angel, ages 20 to 30, and Collins, Benny and Joanne, ages 25 to 40. Each role lists a vocal range, and Angel is open to male-identifying, trans, queer or gender nonconforming performers. The appointment-based audition is December 14 at the theater's rehearsal studio, with a pop or rock song and marked sheet music. Rehearsals start March 15, 2027, and performances run April 7 to 25. It is paid, with a $911 weekly minimum. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Choose a high-energy rock song that is not from Rent, since the team knows the score by heart and will compare you to the original. Check your character's vocal range in the breakdown and bring a song that hits the top notes it calls for. Staple your headshot and resume together, as the listing asks. Book a slot early and confirm you are free for the full March and April rehearsal period.
