Another Resume Question

I have my first professional audition next week...and I've only ever done school theater. I have no idea how to format my resume.

Do I list all of my little productions?

Do I list stage readings I did in drama class/english class?

Do I list the short student film I made?

What information do I put at the top?

How do I format all of this information?

Go with about 10 productions (and only real ones, not scenes you did in class). List the student film under a separate category. Put your name, email, hair/eyes/height, and vocal range at the top.

There's other threads for this if you search around, but that should get you started.

Well, in all matter of logic, if you're including a headshot, which most professional theatres require some form of photograph, is it necessary to write your hair and eyes? Shouldn't it be blatant?

I don't put weight, hair or eyes cuz they change daily.

Include it, because generally headshots are black and white.

NoOne, put as many productions as it takes to fill the page. Don't count stage readings in class, but I would include the film.

Go to this website: http://lecatr.people.wm.edu/YourResume.html. It's insanely helpful.

If you wanna email me your resume I can take a look at it if I have time today. PM me if you're interested.

However if you ever do a staged reading that's part of a reading series at a legitimate theatre, you should absolutely put that down. Ditto for workshops of new shows.
