Audition Information

AUDITIONS FOR CIRCLE THEATRE'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON ARE NOW COMPLETE.

We look forward to seeing you next year for the 2013 season auditions!

General Information That I Need to Know if I'm Auditioning

• No headshots or resumes are necessary. However, feel free to bring one if you have one.
• No experience is necessary to audition.
• When you arrive for your audition, please be sure to check in at the front registration table.
• You will then be given specific instructions as to your show’s audition room. 

What I Need to Know and What to Expect if I'm Auditioning for a Play or Magic Circle

• At the audition, you will be asked to read from the script of the show for which you are auditioning.
• No prepared monologues will be necessary.
• All plays audition at the same time, however, they audition separately.
• If you are auditioning for more than one play, please sign up for each play and allow enough time to attend each audition.
• It helps to let the Stage Manager or Director of each show know that you are auditioning for other shows.
• Therefore you may not be able to stay for the entire audition period.
• You can always come back to an audition that you have already read for if time allows.
  

Callbacks for Plays & Magic Circle

• Call backs for the plays will be on the Sunday following auditions. 
• Check at your time of audition for specific callback times.
• If you are called back for a play, you will most likely receive a call that Friday or Saturday evening asking you to come in on Sunday at a specific call back time.
• Please note that not all Directors have call backs. So if you don’t receive a call right away, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you aren’t being considered for the show.
• Check with the Stage Manager or Director of each show for specific call back details.

What I Need to Know and What to Expect if I'm Auditioning for a Musical

• All the musicals audition at one time. 
• This means that when you audition for a musical, you will be auditioning for all the musicals at one time.

Attire
