GENERAL

• Show up early to fill out your audition forms. Be prepared to list which role you seek and give a full disclosure of your credits, including any awards or theater education. Some people have resumes for this. You should also know your schedule for the next two months, because directors will want to tailor a rehearsal schedule to maximize attendance.
   
• Be neat and cooperative. Don't wander around the theater, but be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there.
   
• Most auditions are open, meaning that you gather in the auditorium watch others audition. Sometimes you will be unable to attend a scheduled audition. In such a case, occasionally, the directors will make arrangements to see you at other times.
   
• A stage manager may direct you to different audition areas. Usually the director begins by talking briefly to you. This is the time for announcing any pre-casting. Also, you may be introduced to other members of the production team who are present. The director might give you a brief overview of the show and the procedure for the evening. This is usually the time for asking questions.
