Auditions

Auditions are open to everyone: Students, staff members, faculty, and community members. We do everything we can to make auditions a fun, positive experience. Our auditions consist of readings from the script (we provide excerpts). For students, this experience is a great way to gain course credit.

Prepared monologues are welcome but not required (and most actors do not present them). Copies of scripts are available on reserve at the circulation desk in the Bromfield Library and Information Commons at least one week before the auditions, so reading them in advance is a good idea. Working on a show is a great way to make new friends quickly, build your resume, challenge yourself, and contribute to the community. We also do our best to set rehearsal times around student schedules. Give it a try and ask questions if you have them.

Auditions are not just for actors, please stop by if you are interested in sound, lights, construction, or being backstage crew.
