Audition Information
All are welcome at show auditions. Auditions typically consist of cold readings, with a singing component for musicals. Different shows may have different needs, so please check out the individual show pages below to find out more.
Please do note that once a show is cast, Town & Gown requires all Main Stage cast and crew participants to be current members in good standing. A one-year membership or renewal costs $20 and involvement in a show comes with a complimentary $20 ticket; please speak with the show's director or our Membership Chair if these dues will cause financial hardship and alternate arrangements will be made. Membership issues should be resolved prior to the show's opening.
