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.
General Information
Theatre Macon has implemented the following safety and health guidelines in response to COVID-19:
-
Mask wearing is now optional for vaccinated patrons, staff and volunteers. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged, but not required, and we request masks be worn at all times for those who are unvaccinated.
-
It is essential that production staff, cast, crew, volunteers, or audience members refrain from entering the theatre if they are unwell. We will make every accommodation possible in order for everyone to feel empowered to stay home if they feel unwell.
-
Any cast or crew member, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to submit a negative COVID test if they begin to exhibit symptoms at any point during the production process.
-
Performers must be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine and must show proof of vaccination at their audition.
Please plan ahead accordingly and thank you for your cooperation as Health and Safety guidelines and Theatre Macon protocols develop.
