While we are a community theatre, we routinely partner with professional theatres and produce professional-quality work. Performers of all levels are welcome, from seasoned professionals to first-time auditioners. ALL are welcome to audition, regardless of religion, age, race, color, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or body type. Auditions will be held on The Lewis & Shirley White Theatre stage unless otherwise noted.
