All Croswell plays and musicals are cast locally, with open auditions.
Auditions for It’s Only a Play will take place on:
- Saturday, December 14, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Monday, December 16 from 7 to 9 p.m.
It’s Only a Play has roles for five men and two women, all adults. The audition will be a cold read, so no preparation is necessary; however, please be prepared to stay so that you can read opposite other auditioners if needed. We have one perusal script that may be read at the Croswell during business hours (Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), but reading the script in advance is not required.
It’s Only a Play will be directed by Doug Miller. Click here for more information about the show.
Auditions for our upcoming productions of Captain of the Crossing Guards and Every Brilliant Thing will be announced soon. If you would like to receive notices about upcoming auditions, please sign up for our auditions mailing list.
General audition information
- Most Croswell shows rehearse for about six weeks. You will be asked to list any conflicts on your audition form.
- If you are auditioning for a musical, be prepared to sing a song — bring sheet music for the pianist, no CDs. The song choice is up to you; although it can be helpful to sing something in the style of the show you’re auditioning for, the most important thing is to prepare a piece you feel comfortable with. If you get cut off after 16 or 32 bars, don’t worry — it’s normal for that to happen in auditions and does not mean you won’t get a callback or be in the show.
- For musicals, be prepared to dance — wear or bring shoes you can dance in, with loose, comfortable clothing.
- Appointments are not required. You can expect to be at auditions for at least an hour, possibly two.
- The Croswell’s artistic team is committed to flexible, imaginative casting. Performers of all backgrounds and ethnicities are encouraged to participate. Reasonable accommodations will be made for anyone with special needs.
- Please note that all of our performance opportunities are volunteer positions, unless otherwise noted.
