Database Guide
Database Filters
Filters are the best way to narrow down theatre companies and find casting notices quickly and efficiently.
Theatre companies can be filtered by:
1. Currently Casting
This option can be checked to show only theatre companies who are casting right now.
2. Direct Search
Companies can searched by name here.
3. Tags
These are all the shorthand tags we use to define each theatre company. All of the tag definitions can be found in the tags section of the resources tab.
TIP: One of the best ways to get your materials out there is to submit to a Theatre company's actor database. Select the "DB" tag to see all the companies who keep an active actor database that anyone can submit to at any time of the year.
4. State
Filter by state of theatre companies.
5. City
Filter by city of theatre companies.
6. Season shows
We keep a log of each show that every company is doing in their season. Select a show from the dropdown to see which companies are putting it on.
7. Equity Status
Filter by Equity, Non-Equity, or Both submission requirements.
8. Casting Season
We categorize companies into one of four different casting seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, or Rolling.
-
Spring Casting is casting that occurs between January and April.
-
Summer Casting is casting that occurs between May and August.
-
Fall Casting is casting that occurs between September and December.
-
Rolling Casting is casting that occurs on a show by show basis throughout the year.
9. Audition Setting
Filter by In-Person, Virtual, or Both audition methods.
Database filters can be saved by clicking the "Save Filters" button.
Users can load the filter that they last saved by pressing the "Load Filters" button.
Resetting the filters can be accomplished by refreshing the page in your internet browser.
