Auditions

Are you an aspiring actor or actress? Do you have a passion for theater? Well, it's time to get excited because the 2024 season auditions are just around the corner!

For those interested in auditioning for a play, please note that you will be required to perform a cold reading from the script. If you're interested in auditioning for a musical, prepare a song that best demonstrates your vocal ability. Don't forget to bring the music with you to play, as auditions must be accompanied by music. It's important to wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing as you may also be learning a short dance during the audition.

All auditions will begin at 6pm unless otherwise noted. All auditions will take place in the Barn Lot Theater Rehearsal Hall, located at the corner of Main Street and Hamilton Street (next door to the Administrative Offices and across the street from the Metcalfe County Public Library). If you are unable to make it to the scheduled audition dates, don't worry, just contact the theater to make special arrangements.
