MARK YOUR CALENDARS
FOR OUR 2026 SEASON AUDITIONS
GENERAL AUDITION INFORMATION
This page provides general information about the audition process for Attic Theatre. For specific details, including character breakdowns, audition requirements, and scheduling, please refer to the individual audition section for each show below (when available). Some productions may have unique audition procedures, so be sure to check the show-specific details for the most up-to-date information.
At Attic Theatre, we are proud to encourage and invite actors of all abilities, experience levels, and ethnicities to audition. We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive creative environment for every production.
AUDITION DAYS
You are not required to attend both audition days, although you are welcome to do so if you prefer. Attending only one audition night will not affect your chances of being cast. If possible, we ask that you stay for the full duration of the audition unless released by the director.
CONFLICTS & AVAILABILITY
When filling out your audition form, please be as accurate as possible when listing any conflict dates. While having conflicts will not disqualify you from consideration, knowing your availability allows the director to create a more effective rehearsal schedule.
TECH REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCES
All actors must be available for tech rehearsals (the week and weekend leading up to the first performance) and for all scheduled performances. The only exception to this is for double-cast roles, where prior arrangements are made with the director.
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Parents are encouraged to attend rehearsals with younger actors. Additionally, we invite families to audition for shows with mixed-age casts, making this a great opportunity for a fun, rewarding family experience.
AUDITION FORMS
Audition forms will be available at the auditions. Alternatively, you can download and complete the form in advance from the link at the bottom of this page, and bring it with you to your audition.
WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR
Please remember to bring a water bottle with you. For musical auditions, appropriate clothing and shoes are essential. While dance shoes are not required, please wear comfortable, secure footwear that stays on your feet during movement.
BACKSTAGE VOLUNTEERS
We always need help backstage! If you're not cast in the show, or if you have friends, family, or siblings interested in assisting backstage, please note this on your audition form.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
Attic Theatre is a non-profit community theater, and we never charge any fees to audition or participate in a show.
If you have any questions, please refer to the contact information on the individual audition section for each show.
