Musicals
Performers should sing 16 bars of a musical theatre selection with accompaniment or instrumental track and upload to the link provided. If callbacks are necessary, the director will notify you within 5-6 days of auditions closing. Each performer may be taught a short dance combination during callbacks, so we ask that you bring or wear comfortable clothing and shoes. For musicals, there may or may not be readings from the script. Unless noted, all initial musical auditions will be held virtually.
Plays
Performers will be asked to read scenes from a script provided at the time of the auditions. All actors will have the opportunity to look over their scenes before being called to the stage to audition. All play auditions will be held in person at Theatre Macon.
All Theatre Macon auditions open to the public and are held at the theatre, unless otherwise noted. If you have a headshot or resume, you are invited to bring them or email them to our Artistic Director, but they are not required.

Next Audition
Synopsis: 1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists, and his own father-in-law, Selznick brings in famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and - on a diet of bananas and peanuts - the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for the biggest blockbuster of all time.
