Listings change through the year. Don't see your show yet? Sign up for the newsletter on our home page and we'll let you know the moment auditions open.
Auditioning here is less of a test and more of an invitation — a room full of people who genuinely want to see you do well.
You'll sing a little, learn a short dance, and maybe read a few lines. Our directors and choreographers coach as they go, so even if it's your very first audition, you won't be left guessing. Nerves are part of it — every performer on our stage felt them too.
We cast first-timers in every production. What we're looking for isn't polish; it's energy, effort, and the willingness to try something in front of other people. Bring that, and you're already most of the way there.
How an Encore audition works
Four steps, start to finish — usually wrapped up in a single visit plus callbacks.
Sign up & pick a time
Register online for the show you want and choose an audition slot that fits your schedule.
Sing for us
Prepare a short song, about 30 to 60 seconds. Not sure what to bring? We'll point you in the right direction.
Learn a dance
A choreographer teaches a short combination on the spot. No dance background needed — just follow along.
Callbacks & casting
Some performers are asked to sing or read again. Then the cast list goes up and rehearsals begin.
What to bring
Keep it simple. Three things and a good attitude.
A song you love
Around a minute, in a key that's comfortable for you. Sheet music or a backing track helps, but isn't required.
Clothes you can move in
Something comfortable for the dance portion, plus shoes you can actually dance in.
Just yourself
Come as you are. We're looking for energy and effort, not perfection — and definitely not a polished resume.
