How It Works

WHAT TO PREPARE

Sign up for an audition spot!
To complete the audition form, you should:
- Be prepared to list any schedule conflicts you will have during the rehearsal process & performances for the show (June 17 to August 25).
- Be prepared to upload a photo. If you have a professional headshot, great! If not, no worries–any recent photo is helpful for our team.
- Be prepared to either upload a performance resume or describe your performing experience.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
- Check-in with our team members when you arrive.
- You will be given an audition number. Numbers are assigned in the order of arrival.
- You will be assigned a monologue to read for your audition. It does not need to be memorized, but you may practice while you wait.
- The team member will also confirm that we received your digital audition form; if not, they will provide directions on how to complete a form while you wait.
- If you have time constraints, questions, or concerns, please discuss them with the team member at check-in.
- At 6:30pm, the production team will welcome everyone, make announcements, and introduce themselves.
- Then, auditionees will be called into the audition room by number (in the order they arrived) one a a time.
- When you enter the audition room, you will be welcomed by the team. Introduce yourself and then read the monologue you have been provided.
AFTER THE AUDITION
- Within 1 week, we will send an update to all auditionees letting them know whether they will be needed for callbacks.
- Casting can sometimes take quite a while. Some role offers will go out on an individual basis in the days following callbacks, while others could take a few additional weeks. When casting is complete and all roles have been accepted, we will notify those who were not cast, and post a full cast list publicly on social media and on our website. Thank you in advance for your patience!
