TOP's doors are always open to both experienced and inexperienced professional and amateur actors and artists of all ages and backgrounds to join TOP's Artistic Collaborative Troupe (ACT) Players of talented Bloomington residents, IU students, and other Hoosiers.

If you're looking to gain performance art experience in a collaborative setting or if you're looking to tell new and original stories as an integral part of a supportive ensemble, then TOP is most certainly a safe place for you to express yourself in a passionate and productive way.

Because TOP's main focus is building an artistic ensemble from scratch each show, TOP never casts for type or other restrictive category. Instead, TOP's primary task during auditions is determining how well an actor or artist works with others and whether or not an actor or artist projects an inspiring attitude.

TOP announces auditions on a show-by-show basis. No prepared monologue is ever needed; participants will read from the script. Auditions are announced on this website, in the Herald-Times Newspaper and other media outlets, Facebook, and through TOP's "Audition and Show Announcement E-mail List" (see left tab TOP + You).
