Everyone is always encouraged to audition.
No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theatre has many other slots to fill before a production is ready
for an audience. Some are: build sets; help direct car parking; write publicity; box office;
vacuum carpets; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props; costumes; assistant directors;
and on and on and on. So Come!
So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play, either alone or with other actors.
If the play is a musical, you may be asked to demonstrate your singing and/or dancing ability.
And, naturally, it is wise to dress comfortably for both auditions and rehearsals.
Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be available to rehearse.
If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons directors
cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
There are also plenty of equally important and satisfying backstage roles that need filling before a
show hits the stage.

Julia and Matthew Perry seem to have it all. But Matthew wants something more -- to be rid of his wife Julia! He resolves to murder Julia by the year’s end, and tells her so.

This much-revived classic offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted by the ghost of his first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting "happy medium", one Madame Arcati. As the personalities clash, Charles' current wife Ruth is accidentally killed, "passes over", joins Elvira and the two "blithe spirits" haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.

This cultural touchstone was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, and is one of the world's most frequently produced plays. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare's plays, performed in 97 minutes by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it's full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.
Auditions: Sunday June 10 at 2:00pm and Monday June 11 at 7:00pm
Note: this is a change.
There are one to two male parts and five to seventeen female parts.
A fast paced series of plays and monologues based on the Life of Elvis Presley, told through the eyes of 17 Women! From Tupelo Mississippi where 11 year old Elvis wanted a BB Gun instead of a guitar, to The Steve Allen Show, from President Richard Nixon’s office, to Andy Warhol’s studio, from Cadillac Salesmen, to Graceland guards, this is a touching, bring-the-family comedy with a heart that captures the effects that Elvis had on others!

Auditions: Sunday July 15 at 2:00pm and Monday July 16 at 7:00pm

Faithful to Dickens' original, this adaptation tells the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge. Mr. Scrooge is always cold-hearted, and Christmas is no exception -- that is, until the ghost of Jacob Marley comes to warn him about the consequences of living a life of greed and materialism. Over the next three nights, Scrooge is visited by three other spirits who try to convince him that his selfishness will be his downfall.
