Auditions for 2011 Season- West Virginia Public Theatre
WHO: West Virginia Public Theatre
SEEKING: Performers for 2011 Season
WVPT will not be working under the AEA CORST referenced LOA this season. WVPT has asked AEA to use the AEA guest contract. Although we’ve received no final determination, we have been advised that approval for a Guest Artist contract is unlikely. AEA members are welcome to audition and will be considered should the Guest Artist Contract situation change. In the interest of fairness, we feel that this information must be disclosed.
