Musicals
Actors should be prepared to sing 16 bars of a musical theatre selection with our accompanist. Please note that sheet music is required. Each actor may be taught a short dance combination, so we ask that you bring or wear comfortable clothing and shoes. For musicals, there may or may not be readings from the script. If callbacks are necessary, the director will notify you before the end of the audition.
Plays
Actors 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 Theatre Macon auditions are at the theatre, unless otherwise noted.
All auditions are open to the public. Upon arrival, auditionees will be asked to fill out an information card. If you have a headshot or resume, you are encouraged to bring them, but they are not required.

Next Audition
Synopsis: Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe-factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.
