Auditions for Public Works Production 2023

Rehearsals

Our rehearsal process will run from July 19 to Opening Night on August 25. We will have four performances between August 25 and August 27.

Rehearsals will be held Wednesday through Friday evenings from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. 

Tech rehearsals are scheduled for Sunday, August 20; Tuesday, August 22; Wednesday, August 23; and Thursday, August 24. The entire company will be called to all tech rehearsals, and we will not be able to accommodate conflicts during that time.

Auditions

Sign-ups are now open! Click here to access the audition form. Please note that, while we are back to a full, live production, we will have a smaller cast size than we did for The Odyssey or As You Like It, with a community cast of 60 people. 

As in previous years, you are welcome to audition with any material you like! Please limit your material to two minutes. You can share a song, a monologue, a dance, a dramatic reading, a series of jokes – whatever you are comfortable with and excited about. In the first round of auditions, we just want to get to know YOU as a person and performer. A piece of advice, however: if you are particularly excited about a specific type of role (i.e. singing, spoken lines, or dancing), it is helpful to share that with us by auditioning accordingly. For example, if you are excited to be considered for a singing role, it would be great for you to sing in your audition!

Callbacks will be held Friday, April 14 and Saturday, April 15, with location and exact times TBA.  

We will not necessarily see everyone who auditions for callbacks – but this is not an indication of whether you will be cast or not. Callbacks are an opportunity for the creative team to get more information as they make casting decisions, and you will still be in consideration if you are not asked to attend.
