Audition Tips

Most Directors Want…

A 1–2 minute monologue for your initial audition. For comedies, prepare a humorous monologue; for non-comedies, a serious one. For musicals, prepare a song of no less than 16 bars and bring sheet music — an accompanist will be provided.

Non-Musical Plays

Come prepared with a monologue. A résumé and head shot are nice but not required.

Musicals

Choose a song that enhances and shows off your singing skills — usually not a song from the play for which you are auditioning.

Callbacks

At the callback, actors will read from the script. The director may also ask you to do scene work with other auditioners.

Rehearsal Information

If cast, most rehearsals take place Monday–Thursday, 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm, plus one weekend day. Directors do their best to work around rehearsal conflicts, and you'll only be called to the rehearsals you actually need to attend.
