Audition for Theatre Northwest

Theatre Northwest seeks to improve, develop and build a community through theatre performances. Theatre Northwest holds auditions at the beginning of the semester unless otherwise noted.

All TCC students and community members are encouraged to audition. Most auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and vocal auditions with cold readings for Musicals. If you are interested in auditioning for a production with Theatre Northwest, please reach out to NWVPA@tccd.edu.

If you are interested in assisting backstage for a production, we encourage you to enroll in Stagecraft or Theatre Practicum. Stagecraft teaches you the basic terminology and techniques for technical theater and Theatre Practicum is a practical class for technical theater techniques in practice. Please reach out to derek.salazar@tccd.edu for more information.
