Southern Plains Productions is seeking non-union collegiate and early-career* artists who have prior theatre experience. We require all company members to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
Southern Plains Productions defines early-career artists as those who have yet to be substantially celebrated in the theatre industry, the media, or the public at large.
Our organization is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We believe in accessibility in the arts and we strive to hire actors and creative team members who share these values. Southern Plains Productions considers all races and gender identities for all roles.
