Auditions

General Audition Process

Audition styles may vary depending on the director, but the typical audition process is as follows:

6:30 PM – Arrival and Check-in
Auditionees arrive, complete all necessary paperwork (unless submitted online or at a previous audition), and have their headshots taken. After turning in paperwork to the director and production team, all auditionees are invited to take a seat in the lobby area. Please note: the audition space is open, and you will be performing in front of not only the director and production team, but also fellow auditionees.

6:45 PM – Introduction
The production team is introduced, and the director provides an overview of the play, the characters, and the audition process.

6:50 PM – 8:30 PM – Auditions & Scene Work
Auditionees are given sides (scenes) from the play to read. The director will assign you to read specific characters alone or with other auditionees. Typically, you will read 2–3 scenes and portray 1–2 different characters. The director aims to assign scenes and characters that align with who you may be cast as, but no one is informed ahead of time which scenes or roles they will be reading. 

8:30 PM – Dismissal
Auditionees are dismissed. If callbacks are necessary, the director may schedule them later in the week. Receiving or not receiving a callback does not determine casting. Directors generally contact cast members by the weekend, though if there are many auditionees, casting may take up to two weeks.
