What they are looking for
Ensemble Studio Theatre is casting two plays in its 2026-27 season, with casting by Calleri Jensen Davis. The first is “Beyond Words” by Laura Maria Censabella, inspired by the life story of Irene Pepperberg and Alex, directed by Colette Robert. The second is “Lucky/Bird” by Audley Puglisi, directed by abigail jean-baptiste. The Equity Principal Audition is on November 9 and 10, from 10 AM to 6 PM, at the theater on West 52nd Street. Prepare a brief contemporary monologue and bring your headshot and resume stapled together. It is paid, with a minimum of $700 per week on an LOA-NYC contract. Rehearsals start in January and April 2027. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Pick a short contemporary monologue with dense language, since both shows are new plays out of EST's development work and they will be watching how you handle fresh writing. If you can, read a little about Irene Pepperberg and Alex before you go, so you know the world of “Beyond Words” if it comes up. Keep in mind rehearsals start in January and in April 2027, and confirm you are free for the block of the play you want.
