Auditions
Want to act in one of our productions?
We host open auditions at the Robert Lee Brault Playhouse for all of our Mainstage shows and some Reader's Theater (per director discretion), which typically consist of cold reads from the script with other actors. No prior acting experience or preparation is necessary to be considered for a role, and we welcome all skill levels.
To be notified of upcoming auditions, please send us an email or fill out one of the forms below with your name, address, and phone number, and we will add you to our actors newsletter list.
If you would like to borrow a script or if are interested in auditioning but cannot make the scheduled dates, please contact our box office.
