Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) in association with Write Act Repertory, presents The TRU Virtual Audition Conference for Theater 2025 (ACT25) on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27, 2025 on Zoom from 11:30am to 6pm ET. Early registration is now open at a discounted price through March 16th! Final submission deadline is April 16, 2025. For more information and to register visit, https://truonline.org/events/virtual-audition-conference-2025/

Attend 3 workshops and master the nuances of virtual audition. Then be seen by over 40 theater companies, producers, writers, directors, agents and casting directors in one 2-minute audition! When registration is completed, TRU will create an individualized dashboard for you, and from there you can register FREE for the preparation workshops: Meet the Coaches, a symposium about acting with 10 top monologue and music coaches followed by individual one-on-one meetings with each; Virtual Audition Technique & Protocol with casting director Helene Galek; and Tech Smart: The Digital Audition Tool Box with casting director and tech coordinator Tamra Pica.

All TRU members and AEA members will be given priority acceptance and time assignments for the audition weekend, and then remaining applicants will be selected based on type, training and experience. All applicants who attend the preparation workshops will be accepted.

TRU strongly encourages diversity – they are inviting a range of theater companies and indie producers with a range of casting needs, including live performance, film and virtual. So yes, they want to see YOU. (Pssst … the first 80 submissions will be automatically moved into priority time slots!)
