Will you grace our stages this school year? We're auditioning for three productions this September, and we're looking for talented, passionate performers to add to our cast lists.

Auditions for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, The Moors, and Between Tattoos: An Autobiomythography are scheduled for Sept. 14 & 15, 6:30-10:30. Callbacks will be Sept. 16 & 17.

Auditions for Spelling Bee and The Moors will be held jointly. Performers should prepare a 1 - 2 minute contemporary monologue and 16 bars of a song. An accompanist will be available for auditions.

Between Tattoos will have 45 minute auditions. Interested performers should be prepared to tell a personal story of some significance to them. This can be about an event or experience from any point in their life, but ideally should be something that has shaped who they are. Ideally this story should be no more than 2 minutes long, with a clear beginning and end, and a clear description of why or how this experience has shaped them in some way. The use of movement or props to assist in conveying the story is welcomed but not required. Performers will be asked to respond to adjustments from the director, and participate in a short conversation with the directing team.
