Website: Audition, job and show listings are posted to the website on an ongoing basis. For show listings, the deadline is 1 month before the show’s start date. For audition and job listings, please give at least one week’s notice before you want the listing to appear.

How Much Do Listings Cost?
Listings for shows and playwrights’ opportunities are free to the public. Audition and job listings are free for companies that are members of Theatre Bay Area, but cost $20/listing/month for companies that are not members and $10/listing/month for individual and organizational members. Individual or organizational members cannot use their membership on behalf of a nonmember company.

To pay for a listing, include a phone number which we can call to collect your credit card information or send a check to: Attn: Listings Editor, 1663 Mission St., #525, San Francisco, CA 94103. Listings are not posted until payment has been received.

How Do I Submit My Listing?
Email your listing to listings@theatrebayarea.org in the format provided below. There is no online form for submitting listings. Listings are not published as submitted; they are edited per the Theatre Bay Area style guide and at the editor’s discretion. Please include your membership status or payment information with your listing.
