Tour is about development of the actor's skills and the responsibility to the audience through a commitment to excellence. It is often difficult and strenuous, but it is also rewarding and even life changing. Touring with National Players is one theatrical outlet where you have the opportunity to present plays to people who might not ordinarily experience theatre, to be an integral part of an ensemble, to become fully immersed in all aspects of the production for an extended period of time, and to grow as an individual as well as a performer. A firm commitment to these goals will make a National Players tour an experience that will stay with you professionally and personally. If you are interested in auditioning for National Players, you must be a non-equity actor who has completed a post-high school academic experience (i.e. college degree or certificate program). Casting for our 62nd Annual Tour with A Midsummer Nights Dream and The Scarlet Letter will begin in January 2010. Check below for the audition location nearest you.

National Players has existed since 1949 as a bridge for young actors who, after completing an academic experience, are eager to find pathways into the professional arena. Tour gives actors opportunities and experiences that enable them to explore and develop their craft, as well as to share their love of theatre with audiences of all ages. The company's focus in rehearsal is clarity of story telling while using classical text as a platform for their development as actors. This cultivates a spirit of exploration, discovery, and trust. Once on the road, the company is responsible for ALL aspects of the repertory.
