Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Roger Sturtevant Musical Theatre Award for Equity Membership Candidates (EMC). You could be the lucky recipient of the Award and $1,000 if you are selected by the panel of judges, but just having your work seen by them is a great opportunity. The application deadline is March 15, 2012.
The award is named in honor of noted casting director Roger Sturtevant, who died in 2003. It is available to current EMCs who have demonstrated outstanding abilities in the musical theatre field and consists of a $1,000 check and a certificate presented to one male and one female applicant.
Selection is based on a videotaped audition, written recommendations and a completed application form. The judging panel, including actor/members of the Actors’ Equity Foundation and members of the Casting Society of America, select the winners. The panel adheres strictly to the principles of non-traditional casting and actively encourages actors of all cultural backgrounds to apply.
