Our company is headquartered in inner Melbourne, just west of the West Gate. If you choose the 4th option, it would be difficult for us to offer you a role, just FYI!

Are you seeking to come on board for a tour or two, to gain experience, or looking for a more full time job in performance for years to come? *I'm interested in doing one show only, and understand I would only be offered a role if outcomes were alignedI'm interested in maybe doing a few seasons of different showsI'm interested in doing as many shows with Alpha over the next few years, but would only want to be in each show onceI'm interested in doing as many shows with Alpha over the next few years, and would welcome the opportunity to return in the same role & show in the future (we only repeat shows every 5 years)I'm interested in doing as many shows with Alpha over the next few years or more, perhaps looking to make it part of my career ongoing for the foreseeable future, and am happy to repeat roles as I'm happy just to be working in my chosen fieldWhilst sometimes we are looking for a specific cast member for a role and only that role, we generally desire to work with people who are passionate about what we do and want to work as much as possible. You are far less likely to be offered a role if you're only interested in working with us for a short time.

Would you accept a Company Driver position? *Yes, I love to drive and am confident with a van and trailer including backingYes, I love to drive and am confident driving vans or other larger vehicles, would just need some help learning how to back a trailer (it's annoying at first but we will help you learn it)Yes, whilst I haven't done it before, I'm happy to be trained and learn this skillI could help parts of any longer trips, but would not want to be assigned regular scheduled shifts as a driver, and acknowledge that there are limited opportunities for me if I am unable to assist with driving at any time at allNo driving at all for me please, and acknowledge that there are limited opportunities for me as a resultRemember, Alpha is a touring theatre company. We must travel to get to our audiences. Being a driver increases your chances of being hired - plus you are paid more! The position involves sharing driving shifts to venues and having competency (either prior or we will train you) in backing a trailer into some tight spots to get it as close to the venue as possible for easy setups.

Would you be interested in being trained and gain experience as a leader in order to be eligible for a promotion to Tour Supervisor? *Yes, I'm super bossy and love to organize things!Yes, I would love to help serve the greater outcomes of the company to ensure it's continued success on toursYes, but I'm hopeless when it comes to anything but performing!No, I can't even manage my own life!No, I'm organized but have too much else going on for me to take on this as wellTour Supervisors are paid more (in excess of the MEAA award Tour Manager rates), but the workload is generally confined to the same hours as the rest of the cast, it does not require excessive amounts of extra workload outside of the shows and tour itself

Would you be willing to accept a role that included learning and performing an Emotional Process segment? *Yes, I am passionate about positively impacting audiences, especially children, and am keen to work with the creator and director to learn the skills requiredYes, I would be happy to take it on, it seems cool and would like the extra pay, but am a bit nervous and might feel ok if I was coached and shown some examplesYes, I would love to in the future but not for my first show, I'd like to see someone else do it so I can learn from themNo, I am not good with learning monologues or other long bits of dialogue or lyrics and need to be in scenes where they is a constant back and forth between charactersNo, I am not passionate about it so wouldn't want the extra workNo, I am not aligned with this sort of thing / personal development etcIt's a little more work up front as they usually contain longer slabs of adaptable dialogue with the intention of impacting the SEL (Social & Emotional Learning) of children - but you are paid extra for each performance, and you are more likely to be hired as every show contains an Emotional Process by at least one character.

Section VI: Upload Supporting Documents

Please click on the 'choose file' buttons below and select both your performance CV and a headshot to attach to this application, as well as your WWCC. You can also include a third attachment (eg. a different headshot) if you choose. It's best to submit a headshot as a separate JPEG attachment (not in your CV, and not as a separate word document with a picture in it), that way we see you every time we look at the email application rather than only when we load up your CV.

Self-Tape LinkIf you have already downloaded the Archetype Sides and recorded your audition along with your song and Chat to Camera, you can paste the link in here so we can view it alongside your application! For instructions on how to audition and create a self-tape, explore the other sections of the auditions pages. We highly recommend sending us your self-tape link in your application as we cannot consider you for a position without seeing you audition!
