(Virtual) Auditions for La Petite Morgue

La Petite Morgue is always looking for actors to participate in our monthly reading series, Fresh Blood, which takes place on the first Wednesday of every month at Happy Ending Lounge in lower Manhattan. To audition for La Petite Morgue, you can send an e-mail at any time to: lapetitemorgue@gmail.com that includes the following:

  • 90-second audition video (links and attachments are both acceptable)
  • Headshot
  • Resume
We will keep your materials on file and contact you for future readings and productions. If you are not able to send a video, we will try to schedule face-to-face auditions twice a year.

Please Note:  

  • Actors must be 21 years or older to participate in Fresh Blood.
  •  We cannot offer payment to actors at this time. Actors who participate in the Fresh Blood Reading Series are compensated with vouchers for free drinks. 
  • Actors who are members of AEA or other professional unions are responsible for securing any relevant permissions from their governing agency.

  3. Hey,I was wondering if you can audition without sending a video like setting a date because I don't have a camera.:(

  4. We'd love to, Jay - but the problem is, there are six different directors, so it's hard for us to all be in the same place at the same time! We set up a two-hour block on Sunday the 17th, but all the slots filled up pretty fast. If you can e-mail us at: lapetitemorgue@gmail.com, send us your headshot and resume, we can put you on the waiting list for the 17th, in case someone cancels? Once I have your e-mail address we can discuss this further. Thanks!
