AUDITIONS: Sunday, December 1, 2024 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the Elwood Opera House located at 202 South Anderson Street in Elwood, Indiana. Monologues and Cold Reads will be required.  All monologues should be between ONE to TWO MINUTES and should be performed with an British accent of your choosing (Cockney, Received, Brummie, etc)  YouTube can be a great help when learning British accents and pronunciations.

PRACTICES: Schedule will be made available at auditions. Practices will primarily be held on THURSDAY EVENINGS from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and SUNDAY AFTERNOONS from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at the Elwood Opera House. Practices will start on Thursday, December 5th with a read-through, introductions and story breakdown.  There will be NO practices for two weeks during the holiday season (December 22-January 4) If you must miss any practices during Thursdays or Sundays other than that two-week period, you must include it in your AUDITION APPLICATION.

FINALLY, if you state on your AUDITION APPLICATION that you would be willing to accept any role, please keep your word.  If you have a preferred role, please list it.  However, withdrawing from a production after the cast list has been announced will make it difficult for you to be cast in future productions.  Thanks for understanding!
