Mainstage and Cabaret auditions will be held in the AHUM Building.

On the day of the audition:
  • You can audition for all of the shows in the season, or just those that interest you.
  • For musical auditions, please bring sheet music; an accompanist will be provided. Please plan to sing 16 to 32 bars.
  • Please be prepared to dance and read from the script if asked to do so.
  • For straight plays, you will be asked to read from the script. A prepared monologue is unnecessary.
  • You only need to come to auditions on one day. 
  • You do not need to stay the entire time—just as long as it takes for you to audition for all the shows that interest you.
