AUDITIONS — FALL SEASON 2026

Macbeth & A Christmas Carol - La Scène Parisienne, Paris

​

Atlantic Theatre Arts is looking for exceptional performers to join us for two ambitious

productions at La Scène Parisienne this autumn.

We maintain high artistic standards in everything we do. If you are serious about your craft,

value ensemble work, and want to be part of a growing anglophone performing arts

community in Paris, we want to hear from you.

​

THE PRODUCTIONS

Macbeth — William Shakespeare

Performances: Mondays, September 21 — October 19, 2026

- A chamber theatre production for four-actors inhabiting inhabiting multiple characters with

physical and vocal distinction.

-We are looking for actors with genuine range, physical intelligence, comfort with

shakespearean verse, and the ability to shift between radically different registers quickly and

cleanly.

​

A Christmas Carol — adapted from Charles Dickens

Performances: Mondays, November 23 — December 28, 2026

A six-actor production with live unaccompanied choral singing woven throughout. Traditional

English carols sung to a professional choral standard are central to the storytelling — this is

not incidental music, but the heart of the production.

We are looking for actor-singers with strong ensemble voices capable of holding their own in

an unaccompanied setting.

Voice types required: Soprano, Soprano/Mezzo, Alto, Tenor, Bass-Baritone.

​

UNDERSTUDIES

Understudies for both productions are sought. Understudies at ATA are part of the company

and will have guaranteed stage time during the season. This is not a safety net role — it is a

full company position.

​

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Performers working at a professional level, or serious emerging artists ready to step up. All

performances are in English — you do not need to be a native English speaker, but you

must be comfortable performing in English at a high level. Bilingual and multilingual artists

are warmly encouraged to apply.

​

COMPENSATION AND STATUS

ATA is set up to work with both intermittent du spectacle and auto-entrepreneurs. All

performers joining the season will be enrolled as ATA members at no cost to them, covering

company insurance for the duration of the productions. Exact compensation varies per

production and will be discussed at engagement.

​
