Casting Notification for LMU Theater Students

Spring 2023

SFTV and CFA are collaborating again on another resource for SFTV filmmakers and CFA Theater Students. SFTV students can submit a Casting Notice that includes available roles and, if offering, dates for any upcoming online auditions. The Casting Notice will appear in a Brightspace page for theater students. Click on the link below to complete the form and email to sftvspo@lmu.edu. The Student Production Office will review your submission, ask any questions they might have and then submit to the Theater Department.

Tips for your Casting Notice

  • Casting Notices appear in a feed on Brightspace so don’t send your notices too early! Aim for two weeks prior to your casting deadline or audition date.
  • Give your character a name! Actors are more likely to respond to a role with a name and details. “Office Worker 2” may not elicit much excitement to submit a self-tape, resume and headshot.
  • Questions? Contact sftvspo@lmu.edu or sftvprodadmin@lmu.edu.
