General information about our Auditions
Big Britches Productions is always looking for new people to come play! Whether you’ve "tread the boards" for years or are new to the stage, we want to encourage everyone to audition.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
- At some auditions you will cold read from sides from the show and some directors prefer you prepare sides from the show or a monologue or a song for a musical production. Be sure to keep an eye on this Auditions page for the particular show you are interested in.
- We know that it can be disappointing not to get a part. (We've been there!) If we have more people audition than roles available, directors have to weigh several factors when choosing a cast. We encourage you to come and audition often. Just because you weren’t right for one role doesn’t mean that you won’t be perfect for another.
- Keep your options open when auditioning. It is easy to say “there’s no part for me” or “I’m too old, young, tall, short, etc. for this role” but you never know what the director has in mind and you could be just what they are looking for in a role.
- We also like to encourage performers to get involved in the production side of shows. Helping backstage, with props, in the booth, or as a stage manager is a great way to get involved with the theatre.
- It's a good idea to come prepared with your calendar so you can mark any conflicts you may have with a proposed rehearsal schedule. We know people have lives outside the theater and do our best to accommodate people's conflicts.
