General  Information for Auditions:

We are often asked about the way we run auditions here at Queen Street Playhouse. The following is a general summary, but please keep in mind that:

  • At the auditions, you may be asked to read from the script. Sometimes, sides are available for checkout prior to the auditions. Many times, you will be able to find the script at the public library or online.

  • You may be required to prepare a monologue.

  • You may be asked to sing if auditioning for a musical. In this case, you should have no more than bars of a song prepared. You will also need to bring sheet music. Sheet music can be found at almost any music store or at the public library.

  • There may be minor choreography involved. Please dress comfortably so that you are able to move freely.

  • It is a good idea to bring a headshot and resume if you have one. If not, a recent photo will help us remember your face.

  • You will fill out an audition sheet upon your arrival. We will need basic information about you such as what type of experience or training you have had, and your contact information in case you are called back or chosen for a role.

  • Most of our auditions are open to everyone regardless of their experience.
