 “Huddle” is a football term, not a character in Fiddler on the Roof. Her name is Hodel,

not to be confused with the guy who sings “Wonder of Wonders.” His name is Motel.

 Be sure your phone number and email are spelled correctly, too. Seriously.

 Scenes performed in class do not count as theatre credits and should not appear on

your resume.

 “Representatives Roles” is shorthand for scene study work, not performance credits.

 Technical work, including directing, does not belong on a performance resume. If you

have enough experience, create a separate tech resume and we’ll post it in the

Staff/Tech profiles on our web site.

DON’T LIE! At a combined audition, you can be guaranteed that casting reps know each

other, talk to each other, and have worked everywhere. They will ask about you. So don’t put

fake credits on your resume! Six Degrees of Separation is a fact of theatre life. Don’t get

caught in an untruth – it’s embarrassing and implies a weakness of character.

EDUCATIONAL & COMMUNITYTHEATRE CREDITS: The jury is split on this: one faculty

advisor we know strongly recommends that high school credits disappear once a performer is

in a good college training program, but at StrawHat it helps us to know that you played leads

all through high school, even though as a sophomore in college you’ve only had two ensemble

roles.

SAVE YOUR RESUME as a Word doc, pdf, or rtf file to email to us with your head shot.
