2025 SEASON AUDITIONS

What are these auditions for?

These auditions will be for our 2025 Mainstage Season, our 2025 Reading Is Alive! performances, our 2025 Appalachian Playwriting Festival, and our Murder Mystery Dinner.

When and where will these auditions be?

For those ages 9-12 auditioning for Matilda, auditions will take place on January 11, 2025 from 2-5pm.

All other auditions will take place on January 18, 2025 from 10am-4pm; and January 19, 2025 from 1pm-5pm.

Auditions will take place at The Mountain Heritage Center located at 113 Green Mountain Dr, Burnsville, NC 28714* (Across the street from Parkway Playhouse).

*Please note that if you’re using GPS to use the full address, rather than, “The Mountain Heritage Center” as there are other locations with the same name in WNC.

What should I prepare for these auditions?

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 Matilda, no monologue is necessary. Please just prepare a song.

What if I can’t make it to auditions?

We’re accepting video submissions through 5pm on January 22, 2025. 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. If we don’t have a place for you this season, we’ll add you to our list of people to reach out to in the future. Please send all resumes to [email protected].

What if I have questions?

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