Audition for a Guild Show!

Guild auditions are open to everyone–bring a friend and share your talents on the Guild stage.

If you have a budding acting talent waiting to burst forth, you've come to the right place!

Auditions are held at the Guild Playhouse at 1600 H Street, the corner of H and Dupont. All auditions begin at 7:00 pm unless otherwise noted.

The Guild holds open auditions for each of its plays.

Auditioners will be asked to read from the script. For musicals, auditioners should also prepare a song. Please bring sheet music; accompanist provided.

2011-2012 Audition Schedule

Becoming Eleanor
Directed by John Gonzales Performances: January 27 - February 12, 2012
Auditions: December 4 and 5 at 7:00 pm

Notice from the director: This play, by Marsha Lee Sheiness, is a witty, serio-comic, non-realistic dramatization of the young life of Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most amazing women in western history—actually, just in history in general.

The cast will consist of one female and one male lead (18-30s); all other roles covered by a 6 person ensemble (3 female, 3 male, ages open).

Auditions will emphasize dynamic characterization and performance versatility through various exercises and scenarios. Minimal cold reading. Individual appointment a possibility depending upon turnout (these would be set up on-site). I need energized, protean actors who can radically transform themselves through voice, physicality, and demeanor. Dress comfortably, warm up in advance, and be prepared to fully utilize your actor's tools.
