Each year the Illinois Theater Association hosts its Statewide Professional Non-Equity Auditions, where some 300 auditionees are selected to audition in front a theater full of directors and casting representatives from throughout the state. Each actor has a total of 90 seconds to perform before a monitor cuts them off and a trap door opens underneath them. Plus the casting reps get a binder full of everyone’s headshots/resumes to keep on their coffee table. February 9 is the big day and I can’t wait!
