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.
