What should I prepare for these auditions?

Before auditions, please fill out our pre-registration form here.

Please come prepared with a one-minute monologue (not necessarily from the show being cast), 32 bars of sheet music for an accompanist for a musical audition (musical pieces from the show we are casting are acceptable, but not required), a resume, and a headshot. If you’re new to performing and don’t have the above items, no worries! Just come prepared to read sides. Sides are excerpts from the script.

If you are ages 9-12 and auditioning for Annie, no monologue is necessary. Please just prepare a song.

What if I can’t make it to auditions?

We’re accepting video submissions for shows through the audition dates for those shows. Please send your submission to [email protected].

Are these paid roles?

Mainstage Season roles ages 18+ will be paid a small stipend.

Do you offer artist housing?

We’re unable to offer housing at this time.

Are you still accepting resumes for creative teams?

Yes. We’re always accepting resumes. Please apply here.

What if I have questions?

We’re happy to help! Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
