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.

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.
