External Casting opportunities

The directing faculty is currently recruiting the MFA students who will enroll in 26/27. We are looking for actors to work with MFA directing finalists, and perform in their audition scenes on Saturday 2/28. In the last couple of years, many TFT students have volunteered in this process and have been of invaluable assistance in the process! This is a great opportunity to represent TFT, and have your work seen by the MFA directing faculty. And most importantly, it's an opportunity for us to see how the candidates interact with you, their potential peers.

The candidates are asked to pick a scene from Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Everybody, Celine Song's Tom & Eliza, Georg Buchner's Woyzeck, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, or Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice.

The time commitment is a 2.5-hour rehearsal, followed by a presentation of the scene, so a 3 hour commitment total. You will be asked to be off-book. You may be asked to bring a specific clothing item as a costume, but only if you have easy access to it. The director is responsible for the look of the scene.

We are looking for actors to work with the candidates on Saturday 2/28. We can schedule you for the 3-hour slot anytime between 9 and 5pm based on your availability that day.

Please let us know at your earliest convenience if you are interested, and what your availability is for this day by sending a message to msplint@tft.ucla.edu.

UCLA Stratcomm is working on a video for Decision Day and they’re looking for student voice actors, that will be on camera at the end. 

The kind of energy we are looking for is like the Big Ten ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeQ9pAb48tY - the biggest difference being that we will want the person on camera for the very last line. Script is still waiting for approval. Gender doesn't matter, just good energy and good on camera.

There’s no budget, and it’s about 5-6 lines of script. And it would need to be done pretty soon, within a week or two. Reach out to Hildie at UCLA Stratcomm Studio - hkatibah@0stratcomm.ucla.edu if interested.
