Actors
Casting Policy
We attend the Theatre Bay Area Generals www.theatrebayarea.org. AlterTheater firmly believes in inclusive casting, and in using color to challenge rather than reinforce stereotypes. Our policy is to cast first from within our artistic ensemble.
The best way to work with us is to let us know that you’re interested in us and invite us to see your work. If you’re in a show, send us a postcard. We accept headshots & resumes from Equity and non-Equity actors. If you’re a resident of Marin county, please note that in your cover letter. We strongly encourage actors who speak Spanish.

Playwrights
Submission Policy
Playwrights, please be aware that we primarily produce in non-traditional spaces, particularly vacant storefronts, so our technical capabilities are limited. We are interested in pieces that focus on clear & powerful storytelling that can be fully realized using minimalist tech.
For short plays
We are not currently accepting short plays.
For full-length plays
We accept agent submissions OR one scene not more than 10 pages plus a one-page query letter that includes a summary of the play, character breakdown, and a list of technical needs.
Materials will not be returned. We do not accept submissions via email. Please submit stapled or clipped (not bound) to:

Technical Artists
We are particularly interested in working with technical artists who are intrigued and challenged by designing for & working in non-traditional venues. We work with existing resources in our community to create our technical landscape. We pride ourselves on finding minimalist but creative solutions that support our storytelling. We are especially looking for artists who wish to grow into part of our ensemble.
We accept letters and resumes year-round:
