Auditions

Audition for Theatre Southeast

2 characters standing on a stage and debating the meaning behind a painting.

Theatre Southeast auditions are open to all current TCC Southeast students, with casting priority given to those enrolled in SE Drama classes.

The process typically involves cold reading from the script provided at the auditions. On some occasions, you may be asked to present two contrasting monologues or prepare a short musical selection, depending on the production.

You will be asked to provide your schedule and availability (classes, work, etc.) to help plan rehearsals, tech week, and performances.

Eligibilities and Requirements

  • Auditions are open to:
    • Currently enrolled TCC SE students; or
    • Students who are enrolled in early college high school classes that are offered through the TCC SE, 9th grade and up.
  • If cast, you must attend multiple rehearsals each week.
  • You do not have to be enrolled in Theatre Practicum to participate, but if two students seem equally qualified for the same role or crew position, priority will be given to students enrolled in Drama classes.
  • You must have reliable transportation to get to/from rehearsals. If you rely on someone else for transportation, talk to them before auditioning.
  • Auditions will consist of readings from the script. You do not need to prepare a monologue.
  • Come to the audition with a list consisting of your class schedule and the times of other outside commitments, including work, picking up siblings from school, church, prior commitments to sports team, etc.
Important Notes:

This project requires a serious time commitment. Auditioning for the show, then later informing directors of rehearsal conflicts, is not an option. This will likely result in you being replaced by another actor who is available during the designated schedule. Please take a moment to consider your availability before auditioning.
