A few words about auditions:

The director for each show will determine how the audition will be run, but generally, actors are asked to review the show’s synopsis and character descriptions and then indicate on an audition form (to be completed upon arrival) in which parts they are interested. Actors will be asked to read a scene from the script and may be asked to read more than once with other actors.

——————————————————————————

A few words about rehearsals:

REHEARSALS are generally held Mondays through Thursdays at the discretion of the director. Every effort will be made to create rehearsal schedules which work around actors prior commitments and typically will allow for smaller roles to not be at all rehearsals.

Rehearsals usually run from 7 to 9 p.m. at Boyd Community Center.
