We are accepting VIDEO SUBMISSIONS from adults (19 and up) by May 1st.
Send your headshot and resume as an attachment and your video as a YouTube link to info@nptheatre.org. But please read this page thoroughly before you submit
You must have local housing and your own car.
COLLEGE-AGE STUDENTS: You may apply for a “brother” or one of the six “narrators,” and you will receive a $100 per week stipend. You will also be offered another credit and educational opportunity as a technical or production-related job, such as Assistant Director, Assistant Choreographer, Dance Captain, Assistant Set Designer, Assistant producer etc.
Other Local Adults: As we have already cast the role of “Joseph” with an AEA contract, all other roles that are cameos (Pharaoh, Narrators, Potiphar, Potiphar’s wife etc) must be non-AEA as we are not able to offer a stipend for these roles.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
