Rent a casting space in Washington, DC

Casting calls are a chance for directors to find talent for upcoming plays, movies, and other performances, as well as for actors to showcase their talent in a supportive space. Big cities like Washington, D.C. offer some of the best spaces to use as a casting room. The city's theaters, auditoriums, and other venues are where most people traditionally begin their search for audition space. Yet you can transform almost any space with the right amenities into a venue for a casting call.

Have you considered hosting a casting call inside of a classroom? Classrooms are spacious and affordable venues for special events. High schools, universities, museums, office buildings, and other spaces all offer classroom rentals. If the classroom is set inside of the building and there are few other events happening during your booking the space should have few distractions.
That said, if you want a pristine acoustic environment you'll want a space that's soundproofed or more private as a casting room. Theaters and auditoriums are an excellent choice. They offer acoustic environments on par with the final performance venue as well as a professional stage for actors to perform on. These venues also have amenities like changing rooms, makeup stations, costume rentals, stage curtains, and stage lights if needed. If you expect a large turnout for your casting call, consider a theater with a waiting room or lounge. This way people can go over their lines and wait in comfort without disturbing anyone currently auditioning.
Loft studios used for special events or artists are also great spaces for a casting call. You'll likely need a separate waiting area for actors who arrive early. But the main space of the loft provides a soundproof space that can easily be customized using studio backgrounds, lights, sound equipment, and other accessories. Lofts are also flexible when it comes to the rental terms, with rentals by the hour being the norm.

Casting rooms can also be found on the grounds of acting schools and colleges. These venues offer more intimate spaces for casting calls than a theater or auditorium yet include all of the amenities you need. Most acting schools and colleges will also have proper theaters if you need multiple spaces for your casting event, not to mention amenities like changing rooms, bathrooms, water fountains, and parking for guests.
