does anyone know a proper form for a theatrical resume??

you could center your name and then below that you can put your stats (like your contact info then under that height, eye color, etc)
ive always seen three evenly spaced columns, like:
show character where

whether you put education on top or at the bottom depends on how much experience you have...

but there are other ways.

If your resume is on the back of your headshot, you don't need to center your name.

(assuming your name is on the photo!)

Hi, I worked through my resume with Dave Clemmons, the NY casting director...here's how mine is now:

Name Centered, beneath it is my phone # and email...below that (still in the center) are my union affiliations...then below that to the left is my manager and her phone number, and across to the right is hair and eye color

then my theatre credits. You list Name of Show, Part Played, and then you can put vital info like where you did it, who directed, etc.

then film credits. Name of project, part played, then where you did it/ Directors, etc.

then modeling work....what the project was called, then runway/ catalogue or other type, then company you did it with (who hired you, etc.)

then below that is other related work (if youve taught dance, camp counselor, etc.)

then is training. Dance, Voice, Acting, or anything else related...you should include workshops or other places like that you attended

then special skills. can be anything you do well, that you would be able to do on stage/ screen, or whatever.

...hope that helps


*Credits should be listed in order of importance/ prestige

also....if you click on the headshots part, the photos may not load right away but just give them a second or two!
