General Information About Auditions and Casting
AUDITION CALLBACKS
Callbacks will be held if necessary. Only those called back will be telephoned. NOTE: not being called back does NOT mean that you are not cast in the show. Likewise, being called back does not mean you will be cast.
BEING PREPARED
Those auditioning for a musical should dress comfortably and come with a prepared song. Please read details about each audition within the pre-registration link (pre-registration is not required) and bring sheet music for piano accompaniment.
CASTING POLICY
All roles, unless otherwise announced, are open.
If after open auditions, the director believes that a particular role or roles cannot be satisfactorily cast, additional actors may be contacted for further auditions. Being invited to audition, either directly or indirectly, does not guarantee you a role.
Callbacks will be held if necessary. Only those called back will be telephoned. NOTE: not being called back does NOT mean that you are not cast in the show. Likewise, being called back does not mean you will be cast.
In the event an actor cannot attend regular auditions, they may audition at a pre-arranged time if the director desires this.
Please note that by auditioning, you are obligating yourself to a considerable rehearsal and performance process. Please be certain that you are willing and able to make this commitment. If you wish to be considered for ONLY a certain role or roles, please indicate this clearly on your audition form.
In most cases, a complete cast list will be posted 48 hours after the final callback audition. Only those who have been cast will be called.
Theatre Winter Haven endeavors to cast new faces and fresh talent whenever possible, and encourages anyone who is interested to audition. However, casting decisions are quite subjective we recognize that not everyone will be pleased with the final choices.
Whether the auditions are public or private is up to the director. Each person will be given a chance to sing, read and/or dance as necessary unless you have a request to the contrary.
