Walnut Street Theatre 2026-27 season: roles still open and free casting database

Description: Walnut Street Theatre, America's oldest theatre, still has roles uncast for its 2026-27 Philadelphia season. "Come From Away" is listed with all roles available, "Present Laughter" and "Disney's Frozen" have parts open, and the theatre is also seeking non-union adult understudies for "Frozen" and "Glengarry Glen Ross". A separate kids open call feeds the "Frozen" performance programme, whose rehearsals start 27 October 2026. No closing date is published: the page is updated through the season. The Addams Family and Glengarry Glen Ross are already fully cast, with only understudy slots open.

Requirements: Union and non-union performers depending on the production; understudy tracks are specifically non-union. Character breakdowns for the open roles are published on the casting page. Headshot and resume required.

Pay: Professional theatre contracts, Equity and non-union; rates not published on the casting page

How to apply: Submit your headshot and resume through the theatre's own casting database form linked from walnutstreettheatre.org/about/casting.php to be kept on file for these productions. The theatre also announces its open calls and EPAs each spring through AEA and Theatre Philadelphia. Submission is free.
