GET INVOLVED

Whether you're looking to work behind the scenes, onstage, or in the community, there are many ways to be part of the Kitchen Theatre Company family. We're always eager to connect with people who are passionate about bold, intimate, and engaging theater.

CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES

Actors

We hold Equity Principal Auditions (EPAs) in Ithaca.
AEA members should check audition notices through the union and email info@kitchentheatre.org to request an appointment.

Directors & Designers

We’re always expanding our pool of creative collaborators. If you're a scenic, lighting, costume, or sound designer—or a director—we’d love to hear from you. Send a resume, a short note of interest, and any relevant links or portfolios to info@kitchentheatre.org.

Playwrights

Kitchen Theatre Company is committed to producing new work that sparks conversation and aligns with our mission: bold, intimate, and engaging.

We typically produce:

  • Full-length, character-driven plays

  • Casts of 2–5 actors

  • Stories that start important conversations
     

To submit, please fill out THIS FORM or email info@kitchentheatre.org with a short synopsis, character breakdown, and development history.

View our production history to see if your work aligns with ours.

EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY

Kitchen Theatre Company is committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and accessible environment—onstage, offstage, and in our community.
 

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and strongly encourage individuals from historically underrepresented groups to apply. We believe that a diverse team creates stronger art and a more welcoming space for all.
 

We also strive to ensure that all applicants, artists, and audience members have equitable access to opportunities and experiences at the Kitchen. Our theater is wheelchair accessible, and assistive listening devices are available for all performances. If you require accommodations during the application, audition, interview, or volunteer process, please let us know — we’re happy to help.
