Auditions
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres is a professional acting company presenting members of Actors' Equity Association – the professional actors’ union based in New York City. As a member of Actors’ Equity Association, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres primarily employs union members. A union contract permits us to hire a very small percentage of non-union actors. Auditions are held for both union and non-union actors a few months prior to each production.
Information regarding auditions will also be advertised in the Sunday Star Tribune 550 section and at www.StarTribune.com.
