I'm doing a staged reading of a screenplay(informal), and I'm wondering if you could put it under "theatre". I've read where actors put scene study classes or workshop readings under their stage credits, especially all they have are educational credits. This one will be my second one this year.

I was just going to post this same question. I did a search first, and saw that no one answered you, so... Anyone have the answer to this yet?

I've recently agreed to preform a staged reading of a full-length play. We're not expected to get off book or have a public audience, but the job did require an audition and will involve a few rehearsals so I feel like I should get some sort of credit... But does this type of thing belong on a resume?

No one answered me yet. I didn't put it on the resume yet, it was for a couple of unpublished screenplays (at the time I did them).

On my own resume, I created a separate listing for these types of projects under "Readings/Workshops" with the name of the production, the character, and the writer/director and company it was for.

I hope this helps.

I was thinking about putting it under theatre.

I suppose that could work as well.

Personally I've found, especially when submitting for projects requesting experienced readers, it's proven helpful to have a section devoted specifically to readings. Also, I've listed on my resume where I've taken part in the reading and then later been cast in the role for the eventual production. Which, of course, I list under the appropriate heading (Theatre, film, etc.).

Staged readings are not usually listed, unless it's a big one that is going to B-way like Spring Awakening was. But, if you are new to acting and just getting started with very few credits to list, then you can create a Staged Reading category (as we did for my DS per his CA & NY agents suggestion) on your resume, but for full length readings, only. Workshop and class readings would go under training, but not as staged readings. Just the name of the class and the teacher or school. Once you gain enough regular acting credits, then you can delete the staged readings category.

This was a film one, and I don't know if it got picked up. It was through this one group that is for screenwritters and to see it all sounds and if they need to fix their screenplays or not.
