upcoming Auditions
Welcome! Below you’ll find audition information for our upcoming productions. Please take a moment to read through all of the information thoroughly before signing up.
Each production will have a virtual Audition Information Session about two weeks before auditions. These sessions will allow you to learn more from the director and the production team about the show and what to expect during the audition process. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions before stepping into your audition! A link to join the meeting will be sent before the session. Please RSVP at the Audition Information Session link listed next to the date of the session.

- Following the singing of your song, you may be asked to do some additional singing coached by the music director.
Character Descriptions
Please note that we are seeking black actors for tracks 2 & 10 as well as a non-white actor for track 9. All other tracks may be of any race or ethnicity.
Please also note that tracks 1 & 12 both require intimacy on stage in the form of multiple kisses. If you are not interested in being considered for these tracks, please indicate that on your audition form.
All actors will be considered regardless of gender identity/expression, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, age, ability, body type, etc.
