Audition Facts

Olympia Little Theatre’s audition procedures are generally as follows, but may vary at the discretion of the Director:

Auditions are typically held the first Monday and Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. following the opening of the previous play. You do not have to attend both nights of auditions, but you are welcome to read both nights of auditions if you’d like. If callbacks are necessary, they are held on Wednesday evening of that same week.

Audition appointments are not necessary unless you are unable to attend auditions on the regularly scheduled days and times. In that case, you must contact the Director to schedule a separate audition appointment time.

Headshots and resumes are welcome at auditions but are not necessary.

Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. You do not need to have prepared monologues. Scripts for the current season’s plays are available at the Tumwater, Olympia, and Lacey branches of the Timberland Library. You may ask for a copy of the script at the information desk. Scripts are only available for use at the library and may not be checked out.

Rehearsals are typically Monday through Thursday. Performances are typically Thursday through Sunday. Additional rehearsals are at the Director’s discretion. Special performances are typically on Tuesdays.

Olympia Little Theatre is a community theater and you need not have any previous experience, just passion and commitment!
