The Playhouse is committed to diversity in casting. Where race, ethnicity, gender, age, or other personal differentiations are not demanded by the script, the Playhouse casts plays without regard to these attributes, and actively encourages participation by all members of the community.

Information sheets are available online with each show. Auditionees are encouraged to fill out these forms prior to coming to auditions. Auditionees should come with their calendars so they can provide complete information.

The Playhouse does not typically make audition appointments; auditionees are taken in the order that they turn in their information sheets.

For musicals, auditionees need to sing a prepared song. Auditionees will sing about one minute, or 16-32 bars of music. Most directors prefer that it not be from the show being auditioned. The Playhouse provides an accompanist as well as the ability to play a track from an iPhone or similar device. Auditionees may be taught a dance or movement routine as part of the audition. Auditionees may be asked to read a selection from the script. The Playhouse does not ask for prepared monologues.

For non-musicals, those auditioning are asked to read a selection from the script. The Playhouse does not ask for prepared monologues. Usually scripts may be checked out from the Playhouse ticket office for up to one week. Scripts may not be checked out the week prior to auditions. It is suggested that auditionees contact the Playhouse ticket office at 515-277-6261 to confirm a script is available before coming in. Ticket office hours are Noon-6:00 PM, Tuesday-Friday.

Call-backs are usually held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Not everyone will be asked to call-backs. Some roles may be cast from the initial audition.

Cast lists are posted on the Playhouse website, once cast has been confirmed.

All auditions are at the Playhouse, Mondays at 6:30 PM, unless otherwise noted. All auditions are open to the public.

Shows, audition dates, and cast needs are subject to change.

For more information about auditions at the Playhouse, contact Robin Spahr, 515-974-5365.
