Audition Information
Regional and Local Auditions

Spring and Fall SETC (South Eastern Theatre Conference) March and September.
Local auditions are arranged by appointment only. Contact Vivian Snipes, Artistic Director to arrange an audition.
We recommend submitting your headshot and resume prior to arranging an audition. That way we are familiar with you and what opportunities we may present for each other.
YouTube and personal websites with digital audition submissions are also accepted.
Most positions are offered between January 10 and April 30 although casting goes on year round.
Audition Guidelines
ALL performance applicants need to prepare a two to three minute AUDITION PACKAGE INCLUDING:
HEADSHOT & RESUME
3 CURRENT REFERENCES and current contact information (phone AND email)
TWO CONTRASTING MONOLOGUES designed to give us insight into your skills as a performer, and showcase your versatility. (Many of our actors must perform more than one character in a production and are usually cast in three to five shows in a season. Versatility is KEY.)
At LEAST 16 BARS OF A SONG. If you are auditioning onsite it will be sung acapella (unless you provide the accompaniment). Vocal range will be checked against a piano. If you play a musical instrument you are welcome to demonstrate that ability as well. Please provide all instruments other than piano.
