Seeking talent ages 10 and up for "The Crucible" Play. Please see the details below. Additional info: Actors are NOT required to be present for all three audition dates. Choose the ONE (1) date that works best for you! What to Expect at Auditions: You will be asked to fill out an audition form upon arrival. Please come with the following in mind: 1. Any conflicts you may have between the audition and the show. 2. Your prior experience in theatre and related environments. 3. The roles you will be auditioning for. If you would prefer to fill out the audition form at home, you can find a copy of the form in the attachment. Please copy, print, and complete your form - and bring it with you to your audition. Forms will be available at the theater for actors who would prefer to complete it on site. Please come to auditions prepared to present TWO (2) of the attached monologues. Not every character has a monologue, so choose the two you like best. If you are seeking a particular role, please be sure to choose that character’s monologue(s). You will find character descriptions along with the monologues. Use this information to inform your characters as you prepare your monologues. Actors should plan to stay at the theatre after individual monologues for a cold read of audition sides. During the cold read, auditioning actors will be paired with peers to “try on” various roles and experiment with different character pairings. If you are selected for a CALLBACK, you must be available Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Callbacks will only be scheduled if absolutely necessary.
