  • AEA Audition Form: The Birds by Conor McPherson, directed by Jay Duffer

  • Amphibian Stage will hold auditions for the following season productions. Individual production information and character breakdowns are below. Seeking professional actors (both AEA and non-AEA) for all roles listed. All positions are paid. Equity and non-Equity contracts are available. Equity contracts are SPT3, the Non-union weekly pay rate is $350. Amphibian Stage is dedicated to diversity and inclusion as a core value, and as such we strongly encourage actors of all races, ethnicities, and gender identities to submit.

  • Roles Available

  • Diane (Lead) | Female Identifying | 40's-60's

    The narrator of the piece. Begins as the most personable and composed inhabitant of the house, but turns into the most ruthless. An author, complex, smart, generally a rule-follower, would choose science over religion, lonely, slightly judgmental, insomniac, has a grown daughter, full of pain, fear, and doubt, but covers it well.

  • Nat (Lead) | Male Identifying | 40's-50's

    Even in the desperate attempt to survive and the suffocating atmosphere of the house, he retains a certain charisma and sex appeal. A coward at times and an adventurer at other times, has an "ignorance is bliss" philosophy, lives on the verge of personal collapse.

  • Julia (Lead) | Female Identifying | Early 20's

    Free-spirited, rule-breaker, smoker, energetic, outgoing, a force to be reckoned with, either wise beyond her years or a really good bullshitter. In order to survive, she will do anything: lie, kill, or deceive. Unknowingly or not, she drives a wedge between Nat and Diane.

  • Tierney (Supporting) | Male Identifying | 50's-70's

    A neighboring farmer. Blue-collar type, threatening appearance, lonely, tries to convince Diane to leave with him. One great scene.
