Website GreatWorks Theatre
GreatWorks Touring Theatre is now accepting submissions from non-AEA adult actors for our upcoming 2026-2027 productions.
GreatWorks currently has a roster of eleven productions for grade school and middle school audiences. The line-up includes adaptations of THE GIVER and THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, a HARRIET TUBMAN bio show, and a brand new Shakespeare “greatest hits” piece, SHORT SHARP SHAKESPEARE, among others.
Performances occur during school hours, so weekday availability and a flexible schedule is required. Most performances are in Chicagoland, but there are occasional overnight bookings outside of the Chicago area. All roles are paid, with first year performers starting at $55 for a single performance call. There is also a rehearsal stipend, and all rehearsals are at our North Center studio space.
Our 2026-27 Season Generals will be run virtually rather than in person.

1. Please submit your headshot/resume in pdf format to auditions@greatworkstheatre.com
