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.

FAQ
How much school will my student have to miss?
We will have two casts that will share performances throughout the spring. On average, each cast performs around 7 or 8 times. That would mean each cast member would miss 7 or 8 days of school. However, some performances are local to Quincy, and if a cast member lives in town, they would still be able to attend the second half of the school day (as our shows are usually in the morning).
If necessary, QCT can write a letter to a cast member’s teachers excusing them from class on performance days– since they’d be contributing to an educational program and inspiring elementary school students!
Who provides travel to performances?
The travel itself is via QCT’s branded commercial transit van (a 2024 Chevy model) driven by a production staff member. QCT on the Road travels to performance venues within a maximum 50-mile radius of downtown Quincy.
