Auditions for A Croswell Christmas

Auditions for our holiday show, A Croswell Christmas, are just around the corner!
  • Dates and times: Saturday, October 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Monday, October 3, from 4 to 7 p.m.
  • Location: The Croswell (enter through the rear door to the auditorium).
  • Casting requirements: We are casting all ages and types, with both dancing and non-dancing roles available.
The show will be directed by Jen Letherer, with music direction by Dave Rains. Performances will take place the weekends of November 26-27 (Thanksgiving weekend) and December 2-4 at Madison High School. The rehearsal commitment is approximately six weeks. Most rehearsals will be on weekday evenings, but there will be some weekend dates as well.

General audition guidelines

  • Be prepared to sing a song — bring sheet music for the pianist, no CDs. The song choice is up to you; although it can be helpful to sing something in the style of the show you’re auditioning for, the most important thing is to prepare a piece you feel comfortable with. If you get cut off after 16 or 32 bars, don’t worry — it’s normal for that to happen in auditions and does not mean you won’t get a callback or be in the show.
  • Be prepared to dance — wear or bring shoes you can dance in, with loose, comfortable clothing.
  • You can expect to be at the Croswell for at least an hour, more likely two, for any of the auditions you attend.
  • Most shows rehearse for about six weeks. You will be asked to list any conflicts on your audition form.
  • The Croswell’s artistic team is committed to flexible, imaginative casting. Performers of all backgrounds and ethnicities are encouraged to participate. Reasonable accommodations will be made for anyone with special needs.
  • The Croswell generally does not pay for participation in performances, although a limited number of Equity Guest Artist contracts may be available. We are committed to providing all performers with a high-quality, professional-level experience in a friendly community theater setting.
