The Palace Professional Theatre, directed by Carl Rajotte, produces seven professional shows per season, known as the Citizens Bank "Performing Arts Series." Auditions are held periodically throughout the year both locally and in New York City and actors from all over the country are cast. Each year, several positions are available for "Resident Actors" who not only perform in all of the professional season productions and the Palace Professional Theatre for Children, but are also given the opportunity to assist the production staff with costumes, props, lighting, etc.
