Open Auditions
What to Expect
Read the Audition Announcement
Each show has its own requirements. The announcement tells you what to prepare, what to wear, and what to bring — so read it carefully before you do anything else.
Prepare
Work on whatever the Audition Announcement asks for. Keep going until your lines or your song feel second nature — when you're confident in your performance, it shows.
Be Yourself
Our casting panel wants to see the real you — how you carry yourself, how you take direction, and the energy you bring into the room. Relax, trust your preparation, and let your personality come through.
Not a Performer?

Common Questions
Do I need prior experience to audition?
Not at all. Accolade welcomes first-time performers. The director will always consider enthusiasm and commitment alongside skill.
What age ranges do you cast?
We are a youth theatre — our productions are cast with performers ages 5–19. Adults are welcome to be part of the community as volunteers and crew.
Is there a fee to participate?
Most productions have a participation fee: $50 per child for the first two children in a family, and $25 per child for the third and beyond. Scholarship assistance is available — just reach out at info@accoladetheatre.org and ask.
How do I know when auditions are announced?
Join our mailing list or follow us on social media. Audition announcements typically go out about 30 days before the audition date.
