NIF encourages actors from diverse communities to audition; this year NIF has roles calling for non-binary actors.

• Performances run March 7–25, 2018 
• General Festival Auditions will be held during the day on January 6 & 7 and during the evenings on January 8, 9 & 10.
• Callbacks the second/third week of January. 
• Auditions will be in the Studio Theatre, 70 Berkeley Street.
• Actors must be available for rehearsals beginning January 30.
• Auditions will be booked according to age and gender, so actors should keep all the audition dates free until they receive an audition time.
• Actors will perform a two-minute monologue of their choice and a side from one of the plays. (Alumnae members have the choice of reading two sides rather than presenting a prepared monologue.) View sides here. 
• Please print an appropriate side and bring it to the audition along with your résumé and headshot. 
• All directors and many playwrights attend the general auditions, so be prepared for a full house.
• NOTE: NIF does festival casting, so you are not auditioning for a specific play or role.

To book an audition, email: NIFauditions@gmail.com with your name, gender, acting age range, email address, phone number, and state whether you are an Alumnae member.
