Work With Us

AUDITIONS, CASTING, & HIRING

The D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre accepts submissions each year from theatre artists of all disciplines, both union and non-union, for paid positions. We also hold additional auditions, callbacks, and interviews throughout the year on an as-needed basis. Individual shows are cast and production teams are hired based off of audition calls, callbacks, interviews, as well as submissions of materials online throughout the year.

At the Kavinoky, we celebrate and value the unique perspectives of artists of all backgrounds. So, as we hire and cast, we strive to create a community of artists which is accessible and equitable, inclusive and diverse. We aim to provide a cultural and entertaining live theatre experience by embracing a shared vision of service, leadership and enrichment for our community. The D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre encourages submissions from artists and staff of all genders, races, abilities, sexual identities, ages, and backgrounds.
