home City Theater          City Theater is a relatively new theater in Delaware. They perform in the new Baby Grand, The Grand Opera House's new Theater. City Theater has a reputation for doing cutting-edge theater. It's truly not your usual formula of comedy, mystery and musical. They are a professional company but not a union theater. They pay a stipend to their actors in mainstage shows. The 10-minute Play Festival and Pub Plays don't pay but are a wonderful shot at getting on stage. The Pub Plays are a series of one-act comedies performed at O'Friels Irish Pub, hence the name. However just because they are not on a stage, don't think that means they put just anyone in them. The Pub Plays have always brought out strong performers, as some think this is a good stepping stone to getting in a mainstage play. You have to decide that for yourself.
              The 10-minute Play Festival needs a lot of actors and directors. This is without doubt the best chance new actors have of getting on stage in a show with a great audience, as the 10-minute plays usually sell out. If you fancy yourself a writer, they take submissions for new plays at their web site. Auditions for the 10-minute play festival are held in the summer; the show itself runs in July. If you are looking to volunteer in a theater to get experience, City Theater is always looking for people to work backstage or with props and costumes.   back
