Welcome all new and returning actors!

Please be aware that there are MANY opportunities available for actors at festival. In addition to the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Auditions, there are workshops to enhance your styles and techniques as well as auditions to perform in New Plays or as a part of our Directing Institute – both of which result in projects presented at festival. All of this, plus our ever popular Fringe Festival: an event which morphs every year, introducing new and exciting challenges to performers. This year’s festival will also include a new initiative for the exploration of Devised Theatre. Participation in these festival events does not demand pre-selection or preparation, just the commitment to join in after you arrive at festival.
The Ryan Auditions may bring many of you to festival but these programs will keep you coming back!
Check out the web pages for each of the areas mentioned above via the links to the left. The area head would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
