AUDITIONS

Our productions feature talent both on and off the stage. Professional guest artists, faculty, and staff work with graduate students, undergraduates, and artists of all ages from the local community.

General auditions are usually held two to three times per year and are open to professionals, students, and community members. Detailed audition information including casting breakdowns, schedule information, and an application is available on this page about a month before each audition so check back regularly for updates.
