Auditions
The Augusta Players holds open auditions for all Mainstage, Youth Theatre, and Children's Wing Productions throughout the year. Audition dates, times, and places are posted on the web page as well as local newspapers prior to the audition.
The Augusta Players does not require previous stage experience to audition, just your talent and desire to be part of the production process. During the audition you will be required to read from the script (material provided). If you are auditioning for a musical, in addition, you will be expected to sing a prepared selection from the show, and learn a simple movement routine from the productions choreographer.
If you are not cast, do not be discouraged, but continue to audition to gain experience. Understand there are many factors when casting a production.
We look forward to seeing you at an audition soon!

Thanks to all who auditioned. We had a wonderful turn-out and some difficult decisions to make. We certainly had to turn away many talented individuals.
The first rehearsal will be Monday, April 21st at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Greene St. downtown. It will be held from 5:00 to 6:30. We will have an initial meeting and read through of the play. We ask that at least one parent is in attendance to receive information and give consent. Details for the rest of the week will follow, but assume until you hear otherwise that rehearsal is everyday.
Again, congratulations to all who were cast and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
