Laurie Burnett- Assistant Director/Understudy

We had an outstanding turnout! We are still in need of one or two more men to audition for chorus roles so if someone is interested, we will still audition new men. There were so many talented people who auditioned that we did not have enough roles for everyone we could have cast. The talent was also so good that major roles could have been cast with two or three people in the parts.

The first rehearsal will be at 6:30 pm Tuesday evening in the Studio Theatre located next to Kirchhoffs. Please email dbristol@housmanlaw.com to accept your role.

General Audition Notes Auditions are usually held on a Monday and Tuesday evening. Adult shows audition at 7 PM. Youth shows audition at 5:00 PM. Auditionees may check out a perusal script 1-2 weeks ahead of time to become familiar with the play. At the auditions the director will assign parts at random and have auditionees stand onstage and read these scenes looking for a sense of character, expression, diction, vocal projection and general acting ability. They might also be asked to participate in some simple theatre games or improvisations. Some auditionees from Monday and Tuesday might be called back for an additional audition. If you are auditioning for a musical you should sing one of the songs from the show. If you are unable to attend the scheduled audition date please contact the theatre to see if there is an alternate audition time when other auditionees will be present. Alternate audition times are not guaranteed. We are making a concerted effort not to have "private" auditions for roles. Perusal scripts for all shows may be checked out for three days with a $10 Youth script refundable deposit and a $10 -$25 Adult script refundable deposit.

Casting for roles are based on a variety of factors in addition to sense of character, expression, diction, vocal projection and general acting abilitiy. Casting can be also determined by the heights and ages of performers when compared with others who have auditioned. MHT believes strongly in color blind casting and seeks to cast new people as often as possible. All roles are available at auditions. Preference is also given to actors who will accept any role! Should an actor be unable to perform every effort will be made to recast the role from those actors already cast in the show.
