General Audition Guidelines:
Auditions are usually held approx. 2 months prior to the Play's opening. Dress comfortably but appropriately, be punctual, and come prepared to read, dance, or sing (depending on the script).
Sometimes, would be actors are selected into groups and asked to read parts from a script. Other times, monologues are required at auditions to help Directors gauge an actor's strengths & experience. These can range from poetry and songs to excerpts from a script. There are many good online sources available for getting audition monologues; here are a few favorites:
TheatreHistory.com Script Archives
At an audition, you will be asked to fill out an official Audition Form listing contact info, special skills or experience, and other pertinent information to help the Director in choosing a cast & tech crew. You can either fill one out at the actual audition OR download one here in MS Word format and bring it to the audition already prepared.
Generally, we seek enthusiastic people who look and feel comfortable on stage, who listen well and follow directions easily, and for folks willing and open-minded enough to try new & different roles than originally intended auditioning for.
Prior acting experience is helpful BUT NOT mandatory.
In some instances, musicians are needed for musical plays. If you are a musician interested in playing for one of our upcoming musicals, please contact us and let your talent be known, or else come attend an audition and talk to the Director directly!
As always, there's a need for Light Techs, Sound Operators, Stage Managers, Stagehands, Choreographers, Vocal Coaches, Costumers, Makeup Artists, Poster designers, Program cover artists, Set Construction, Graphic Artists, Concessions personnel, Directors & Assistants, and Producers. If you have free time on your hands, or would like to break into theater this way, please give us a call or come to one of our open auditions and talk to the Director.
Experience IS NOT mandatory. We can teach you!

Currently Auditioning:
Auditions for "4 Weekends at Gussies" will be Monday April 7th, Tuesday April 8th and Wednesday April 9th starting at 7:00 pm each night over at Gussies (1088 Newmark Ave. in Empire). Looking for all ages of people with or without theater experience, to join an Ensemble cast to do 4 weekends of theatre in late April thru late May. The weekends will consist of (1) Week-end of Improv, (2) Week-ends of One-Act Plays, and (1) Week-end of Storybook Theatre. Auditioners will be asked to both show their Improvisational skills and do selected readings to show their stage voice. These shows will be directed by Jeff Roberts, Dave Jordan, and Joe Vos. Interested parties should contact Dave Jordan via email or phone 269-1571.
Auditions for "King Arthur and the Lords of Avalon," were held in late March at the Pony Village Mall, North Bend. However, not all parts have been cast. There are still a few roles available for both men (ages 12 to 50+) and women (ages 16 to 40+). Interested parties are asked to contact the Director, Michael Gonzalez directly. Auditioners will be asked to present a contemporary, dramatic monologue from memory, along with a headshot accompanied by a resume. If one is not readily available to you, then an regular OBT audition form will suffice. All experience levels are encouraged to apply. This play is slated to run August 15th through the 31st, 2008. For more info on this play, please contact the Director, Michael Gonzalez, directly or phone 756-7238. You may also visit his MySpace webpage.
Please keep in mind that we are also actively looking for Stagehands and Costumers as well! This is a great way to break into Theatre!
Please stay tuned to this page as auditioning information for additional plays becomes available. Thanks to everyone that came to audition for us during 2007. We want you to know your support is very important to us and much appreciated. We hope you'll continue to patronize us in the coming year with tryouts, play attendance, backstage crew recruitment, directing, ushering, and so forth. Drop us an email that you're interested in volunteering or else speak to one of our many directors.
Even if you're too shy to be on stage, PLEASE consider joining one of our tech crews. We have such great fun staging productions so why not come be a part of it?!
