How auditions work here

Open to anyone who lives in the county. No experience needed, ever.

You read from the script with other people. You may be asked to read again, or a different part.

Callbacks, if any, the same week. The cast list goes up on this board and by email within seven days.

Not cast this time? Ushering and crew are how half our actors started.

Under 18

A parent or guardian signs the consent, and we write to them, not to the young person. Rehearsals for the youth series end by 8 p.m. on school nights. Two adults are present at every youth rehearsal, always.

Some states require a permit for young performers even when nobody is paid. That is the theatre’s job, not the family’s; your state labor department says what applies. This is a sample policy, not legal advice.

Audition sign-up

Demonstration form: it sends nothing and stores nothing. It shows what a real sign-up checks before the theatre ever sees a name.

What to bring

Yourself, and reading glasses if you use them

A list of dates you cannot rehearse — honest is better than hopeful

For the musical only: sixteen bars of anything, with sheet music for the pianist
