Our audition process is simple and easy. We are always looking for new performers. Check this page for audition dates, then call or email for an appointment. Bring a headshot and resume (if you have one) to your audition.
For dramas and comedies, you may be asked to perform a monologue and/or readings from the script. Another actor or the Stage Manager may read with you.
For musicals, you will be asked to sing for the director and the musical director. You should prepare a song and bring sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. After singing, you may be asked to read selections from the script. If anything else is required of you for the audition, it will be posted in the audition notices.
At any point, the casting staff may tell you that they have seen everything needed and you can leave. If you are cast you will get a phone call, usually within a few days to a week.
If you are not cast, you will not hear from us, but we do hope that you will audition again as the requirements for each show are different.
