Non-Discrimination

Baltimore Shakespeare Factory (BSF) is an equal-opportunity nonprofit organization committed to serving a diverse population. BSF does not discriminate against individuals based on race, creed, color, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, familial status, age, citizenship status, veteran status, or the presence of any disability.
This policy extends to staff, administration, actors, performers, designers, board members, and volunteers.

A NOTE FOR FUTURE ACTORS

Baltimore Shakespeare Factory is a 501(c)3 theatre that rents our venue locally each season. Our staff works part time throughout the year and supports our mission via donations and grant funding. As such, we are a smaller theatre that cannot provide transportation or housing for actors not local to the Baltimore area. Our rehearsals are typically held on evenings and weekends, not during the day. We highly encourage all actors to review our mission and vision before working with us, as we are an Original Practice Company. If you have any questions about our performance model, please reach out to info@baltimoreshakespearefactory.org prior to auditioning with us.

What We Are Looking For

We want actors who are willing to be a member of an ensemble -- we want to remove the "drama" from drama -- we want actors who can play well in the sandbox.
We want actors who are dependable, responsible, and generous – actors who realize the good of the many outweigh the good of the few, or the one (thank you, Mr. Spock).
We love to see actors make BIG, BOLD choices.
We want actors who LOVE THE LANGUAGE and relish speaking it.
We want actors who are willing to do ALL the necessary text work required by this company.
We love actors who are comfortable making strong eye contact with our audiences and interacting with them when it is appropriate -- so please don't hesitate to make eye contact with the auditors during the auditions if your text calls for it.
We want actors who are on time to rehearsals and calls and off-book when requested.
We want actors who are willing to learn and grow.

Thanks for your interest in Baltimore Shakespeare Factory and we hope to see you at auditions!
