Audition Tips
BEFORE THE AUDITION:
Set up your account on Casting Manager if you don't have one already. Please include a generic bio and a headshot. If you are cast for a show, we use this information in our playbill, so it is important to keep it up to date, You will be notified of future audition opportunities through Casting Manager, so please provide an email address.
Double Check the performance schedule before you audition. It's disappointing to audition, get a part and then find that rehearsals interfere with classes or that you'll be out of town during the week the play goes on. Rehearsals and performances occur weeknights and on weekends and generally begin within a week of being cast.
If possible, read the script and familiarize yourself with the characters. Knowing the characters will help you to decide for which part or parts to audition. Scripts can be checked out from the box office.
AT THE AUDITION:
Be on time!
Wear clothes that are reasonable for the audition and are comfortable.
Be courteous and professional. Remember you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and your audition lasts from the minute you walk in the auditorium until the moment you leave.
Most auditions consist of "cold readings" from the scripts. That means you will be asked to read some of the dialogue from the show, sometimes with other people sometimes by yourself. Don't worry if you stumble over words, we're looking for energy and character choices.
Relax; auditions do not have to be a painful process. Give it your best shot and HAVE FUN!
