Acting Audition: Be prepared for cold readings from the script.
Materials: Bring a printed copy of your headshot and resume to the audition.
Music: We are also looking for a few actors/actresses who can sing and/or play instruments. Please prepare a short song (16 bars) or bring your instrument for a brief demonstration if you’d like to be considered for musical moments in the show.
Additional Audition Information
Callbacks: If necessary, callbacks will be announced later.
Facebook Audition Group: Join the SSG Auditions Facebook group for updates, sides, etc... We will contact you directly only for callbacks or casting offers.
Rehearsals: Rehearsals are expected to begin no sooner than late October, though the exact start date is not yet finalized. Our preferred rehearsal schedule is Sunday through Thursday evenings; however, we take all actor conflicts into account when casting and build the schedule accordingly.

Please note: any additional conflicts submitted after casting may result in the director choosing to recast your role.
