Most shows will have a Producer’s Night Performance during the run of the show. This date will be announced by the audition date.
All auditions will be held at the Old Post Office Playhouse located at 10 South Main Avenue, Newton, NC 28658. Usually, you will be asked to enter at the lower level door at the back of the building (on South Ashe Avenue).
General Guidelines for auditions:
- You must be able to be at ALL performances of the show, including scheduled school shows.
- Most auditions begin at 7:00, but there may be changes. For example, shows with younger actors may schedule earlier auditions.
- Always wear comfortable clothing for a possible movement audition.
- No prepared monologues are necessary—most auditions include cold reading from the script.
- Musicals require a prepared song (about 2 pages worth). The song does not have to be from the musical. Please bring sheet music for the accompanist. A cappella auditions are discouraged.
- Be prepared to stay for the entire audition time.

Audition Notes
We do not require experience, prepared monologues or headshots.
MUSICAL Auditions: If you are auditioning for a musical, you do need to have a prepared song (an accompanist will be provided). Wear comfortable clothing and shoes for movement/dance auditions. A choreographer will teach you a short dance routine for your audition to see how you move.
