If we cancel auditions, it will be posted on the audition information page and Facebook. We will not cancel auditions unless the city/weather service councils no travel. If you feel unsafe or can’t leave your home; email, and we’ll reschedule your appointment. Safety first. You know your area best.

YES!!!! We have this handy-dandy brand new technology, called e-mail, it’s awesome, it means that the production coordinator can add your headshot to your audition form!!!! Boom! That’s the sound of a million trees clapping! (Yes, someone was in the forest, so yes they heard it.) In an effort to save trees, and to give the production team a face to put with a name, the Production Coordinator adds the photo to the audition form. If a headshot is not emailed by the Friday before auditions, the picture below is added to the audition form. True story. Don’t be a face palm. Be ahead of the herd.

Be as honest as possible on the conflict calendar. As a community theatre, we want to work with as many people as possible, and we DO work with people with performance conflicts. For example, someone else may have the exact opposite conflicts, and you can be double cast. That gives us two great additions to our family, and you an opportunity to be in a great role.Sometimes conflicts are so numerous that we have to decline a role offer, but we usually do our best to work around your conflicts.

Our musicals rehears for 8 weeks, and our non-musicals rehearse for 6 weeks. Rehearsals are Monday thru Thursday from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Saturdays from 1:00 to 5:00. Tech rehearsals begin the Saturday before opening, from 1:00 to 11:00pm (with a dinner break), and the same schedule for Sunday. There are 3 dress rehearsals, Tues-Thurs, the week of opening. Actor and crew call time is usually between  6:00 and 6:30 and the rehearsal goes until the show is finished.

Typically, casting decisions are made 1 to 2 days after callbacks are completed. Role offers are sent via email, and once everyone who is offered a role has accepted, the cast list is posted on our website.

An email will be sent to within a week. Make sure you give us the correct email address, and that you type it in correctly. An incorrect address can mean sadness and delays for you.

Depending on the requirement for that particular production, yes. We will have the equipment to connect to most devices via Bluetooth. Please ensure there are no vocals on the track. In most auditions, we'll also have a pianist, so you may also bring your own sheet music.

Always check the casting announcement (they go out about a month before auditions) if they don’t have an age limit, go for it! Many talented teens have not only graced our stage, but had really awesome roles. You won’t know if you don’t try! And if not, that’s one more audition that you conquered! Practice makes perfect!

In accordance with our operating standards, everyone involved with the Palace, who is at least 18 years of age, must complete a background check at the Georgetown Palace Theatre's expense. This also includes the parents of our under age actors, and crew that will attend rehearsals.  We send a secure link once your involvement with the Palace is confirmed. The background checks are valid for 3 years.

In this as in all things, honesty is the best policy. If you don’t want ensemble, don’t tell the production team you will accept it. Saying no doesn’t mean your aren’t a team player, it just means you want what you want, and that is all. It is bad form to tell a production team that you will take “any” role then turn them down when they offer you “any” role. Be honest, it will take you far my friend.

As of September 2023, the Georgetown Palace Theatre began paying a stipend for all of our actors and crew members who are at least 16 years of age. The amount of the stipend varies from production to production.
