ABOUT AUDITIONS:
WRCT welcomes potential actors of ALL levels of ability and experience. We are inclusive, and do not discriminate against anyone. We are happy to train people who have no experience but have the desire to learn something new.
​
Once the director is selected for a production, they start planning with the Executive Director and a Production Manager, who reports to the Executive Director. They work with the director to find a Stage Manager if they haven't already selected one. This is done before auditions.
Auditions are set up to allow at least eight weeks of rehearsal time before the run of the production. Auditions are generally scheduled for a Monday and Tuesday evening, at the WRCT Auditorium. Dates and times of auditions will be advertised on the WRCT Website audition pages and on the WRCT Facebook page. (This process may be different for Youth Productions.) Actors will be told where they can preview a script or pick up audition pieces that will be used.
Before auditions begin, the Stage Manager gives each actor an audition application. NOTE: You can fill out the ONLINE AUDITION FORM for the production. On this application actors can list experience, the role they’d like to play, and whether they’d accept a different role if offered. Actors will also be asked if they would be willing to work on a crew if they are not cast in a role. (Answering yes to this question will NOT affect their chance of getting cast.)
The actual audition process is relaxed and really fun! The director will look over all audition forms and call people onstage to read different parts. This is to see how people fit in roles, and how they fit with other characters. Nobody needs to worry about reading perfectly, we just want to see how they present onstage. Actors are not required to be at both night of auditions, but are certainly welcome to be there. That gives the director the chance to read actors with more people.​
After the auditions are complete, the director will review all auditioners and select the cast. While directors don’t discriminate against people based on experience, they do need to know if the actor has any conflicts that will be overly disruptive to the rehearsal process. We know everyone has a life outside theatre, and are willing to work around the occasional rehearsal conflict.
