Auditions

Our auditions are meant to be as easy as possible for people that are interested in auditioning. We do not require monologues for our auditions, instead we use sides from the current productions.

Please realize that we know some folks are not good at cold readings and always take that into account during the audition process.

Upcoming Auditions

Auditions for Come From Away will be held on September 9 & 10 from 7-9 pm at Our Town Theatre. Directed by Mikey Virts with Musical Director Katie Martin, production dates will be November 11-15 and November 18-22, 2026. Auditioners should come prepared to sing 16 bars of any song of their choosing. They may sing acapella or bring karaoke tracks with them. The theatre will be able to play them through bluetooth. No headshots or prepared monologues are required. Actors only need to attend one day of auditions.

Come From Away is a critically acclaimed musical featuring a culturally relevant script accompanied by a deeply moving score by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The show has earned global success with 37 award nominations, 13 of which resulted in wins, most notably Best New Musical at the 2019 Olivier Awards and Outstanding Musical at the 2017 Drama Desk Awards. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together, no matter what the circumstances.

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
