CHARLESTON STAGE AUDITIONS
Charleston Stage’s annual auditions are for members of the community interested in performing with Charleston Stage. Auditions are open to adults and high school students (rising Grades 9-12). While Charleston Stage has a Resident Acting Company and employs guest actors, community actors make up a large portion of our acting company each season, playing leading, as well as, supporting roles. Newcomers are welcome!
Auditions for our 2024-25 Season are closed. Please check back in April 2025 for more information about auditioning for our 2025-26 Season.
PERFORMANCE TROUPES
PERFORMANCE TROUPES are weekly classes for advanced students and admittance is by audition only. Auditions are held once a year. Students in Performance Troupe train in acting and singing weekly with movement included as needed. They are the only students (younger than high school) permitted to audition for Charleston Stage professional productions.
TUITION: $800 for Classes August 2024 - April 2025

RESIDENT ACTOR PROGRAM
Our Resident Actor Program is an intensive 11-month program that allows non-equity participants to combine multiple performance opportunities with a well-structured and practical teacher training program. Our company is in residence at the Historic Dock Street Theatre and presents a Mainstage series of six full productions and a Family Series of two to three productions each season. In addition, our CityStage program and other educational outreach programs provide opportunities for artists to engage with the community through theatre performance and education.
Resident Actor auditions for our 2025-26 season are closed. Please check back in January 2026 for more information about auditioning for our 2026-27 Season.
