Acting

Whether you're a seasoned actor from a past show, an actor that's new to our stage, or new to acting altogether, we welcome all to audition for our productions!

An actor portrays a character by interpreting the script, delivering lines, and embodying emotions through physical movement and facial expressions. They collaborate with directors and fellow cast members to create a compelling narrative, engaging the audience through live performance. Their work involves rehearsing, memorizing lines, and understanding stagecraft to effectively tell the story.

Crew

Being a crew member in a theatre production is a multifaceted experience that combines creativity, collaboration, and hard work. The role of crew members—often referred to as "behind-the-scenes artists"—is vital to the success of any theatrical performance. Each crew member contributes their skills and talents to bring a script to life, making the magic of theatre possible.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a crew member is that everyone plays a part in the creation of the show. Communication is key. This spirit of collaboration fosters lasting friendships and a sense of belonging, an essential component for anyone involved in the arts.
Common crew roles include but are not limited to: stage manager; set designers; set construction; lighting designer; tech booth; costumer; props master; stagehands; and others.
Unfamiliar with these roles? Don't worry, we can teach you all you need to know.

Director

Do you have a passion for storytelling and a unique vision that brings characters to life? Trumbull New Theatre is always on the lookout for talented directors to showcase their creativity!

Being a director in a theatre production is both a challenging and rewarding experience that combines artistic vision, leadership, and collaboration. The role of a director is multifaceted, involving creative decision-making, effective communication, and the ability to inspire a diverse group of individuals to bring a shared vision to life.

Nervous about being a first-time director? No worries, we encourage all first-time director’s to assistant direct (AD) at least one show to get a feel for what all is involved in directing at TNT. Being an AD is a great stepping stone to eventually directing your own production. AD’s serve as a vital support to the director while also facilitating communication and collaboration among the cast and crew.
