<p>Would it be wrong to put on a theater resume the upcoming shows that my D will be in her senior year even though she hasn't been cast in a specific part? Or should she just leaves those off? I searched the previous threads and couldn't find the answer to this. I apologize upfront if this is a repeat question.</p>
<p>Leave them off until she is cast, bisouu.</p>
<p>Definitely.</p>
<p>Thank you we will leave them off</p>
<p>Do you think it’s important to differentiate community theater roles from high school ones or should they just be grouped together?</p>
<p>Group them together.</p>
<p>Thank you both :)</p>
<p>Different point of view here- my perception is they are viewed differently. I would group them by venue. So, high school productions grouped by name of school and then then director for each. For community theatre, list the name of the theatre company and then the director. If more than one company, list them one by one.</p>
<p>We don’t list director. And my D’s high school does the shows through the drama club which is called “Harlequin Club” so we just list that in the same way we list the community theatre group names.</p>
<p>The standard – for stage acting resumes at least – is the name of the play, the role, and the venue. </p>
<p>You want your resume to be concise. Too many categories clutters it up.</p>
<p>^^agree with NJTheatreMom. </p>
<p>I tried to post before but it got deleted somehow. We did my son’s resume in three sections (drama, musical theatre, music) and set up each section just like NJ said:</p>
<p>Play name – role – venue. </p>
<p>Spamalot – Sir Robin – Our Community Theatre
Sweeney Todd – Sweeney – Our High School</p>
<p>You want to have the listings in descending order, with the most important role first, and the rest in descending order of importance…irrespective of where the show was performed, and irrespective of chronological order.</p>
<p>So in Marbleheader’s example, Sweeney would be listed above Spamalot. :)</p>
<p>I basically agree with what everyone else is saying.</p>
<p>Remember that there is not, and has never been, one correct format for a resume. </p>
<p>Whether we are talking about theatre resumes or resumes for other reasons, you should always basically invent your own format, and make sure that it is a format that makes your resume (and YOU!) look good. So the format that is best for one person’s resume will not be the right format for another person’s resume.</p>
