Alleyway holds open auditions each summer for all artists, both Equity and nonunion alike, for paid positions. We also attend the January Theatre Alliance of Buffalo auditions each season. Individual shows are cast based off of these open calls, as well as submissions of headshots and résumés throughout the year.
At Alleyway, we celebrate stories of everyone. So, as we hire and cast, we're committed to creating an equitable and accessible, diverse and inclusive, joyful community of artists and staff. We seek artists and staff representing the breadth of humanity; people of all genders, races, abilities, and ages should apply.
If you have auditioned at the Alleyway or at TABs in the last two years, you do not need to audition at this time -- unless you have something completely new to show us. We keep all auditions on file and regularly cast from previous calls. If this is you, please feel free to click the blue button below to upload current information and express your interest. But this time, we're really looking to see folks we haven't seen before, or in a long time..
Actors who are interested and available for upcoming productions should submit their headshot and résumé immediately for consideration for the 2026/27 season and other additional projects throughout the year.
