Thank you to everyone who attended our Season 23 General Auditions!

Directors will hold either virtual or in-person callbacks for individual shows based on these general auditions. Should you be called back, directors will reach out individually to you via email or phone.

Welcome to Season 23 at The Pear: where audiences will Be Transported and have unique theatrical experiences unlike anywhere else in the South Bay. Learn more about Season 23 and subscribe, here.

The Pear always has a goal of hiring 60% of our artists from historically excluded backgrounds. We don't believe in "colorblind" or "traditional" casting. We are committed to making sure the backgrounds and affinities of our performers enlighten and inspire the interpretations of our show selections. We encourage EVERYONE to submit for ANY role.

NON-AEA in-person Season 23 General Auditions were held on Saturday, April 27 from 9 am – 1 pm, Sunday, April 28 from 9 am – 1 pm and 6 pm - 10 pm, at The Pear Theatre, 1110 La Avenida, Suite A, Mountain View, CA 94043.

• Actors were requested to prepare and present two contrasting monologues, a total of 3 minutes. Singers were requested to present two contrasting monologues, a total of 3 minutes, and 32 bars of a song. Musical auditions were held on Saturday, April 27 and from 6 - 9 pm (only) on Sunday, April 28.

All performers at The Pear are volunteers and will be paid a stipend for their work.

If you were unable to attend in-person auditions, you may submit your audition virtually. You will need to submit your headshot, resume, and a link to a video of you performing up to 3 minutes of monologues. We encourage two 90-second monologues of contrasting style - but feel free to make your best judgment. We just want to see your best version!

Please make sure your video is accessible and that directors will not need to “request access” to view it.
