Audition for The Little Theatre
READY FOR THE SPOTLIGHT?
Audition for one or more of our shows this season!
We keep auditions as easy and stress-free as possible. No appointments, and everyone is welcome! All who are interested are encouraged to audition; unless otherwise noted any race or ethnicity is welcome. Our goal is for those on the stage to represent those in the community.
​
At the audition you will fill out an audition form and conflict sheet when you arrive, so please bring your calendar. Your photo will be take for reference.
For plays, you'll be asked to do cold readings ("sides"); for musicals, you'll sing a song you've prepared and possibly learn a short choreography routine.
​
At The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem everyone is welcome to audition and no role is cast before auditions take place.
