CHARLESTON STAGE AUDITIONS
(For roles in Charleston Stage’s 2023-24 Season beginning in August 2023.)
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 The Prom, Clue: On Stage, and Chicken & Biscuits are now closed. Auditions for The Trip to Bountiful and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical will be announced at a later date.
RESIDENT ACTOR PROGRAM
Charleston Stage is South Carolina's largest professional non-union theatre. Our Resident Actor Program is an intensive 12-month program that allows its 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 Main Stage series of six full productions as well as 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 hiring is complete for our 2023-2024 season. Information about auditioning for our 2024-2025 Resident Actor Program will be available here in December 2023.
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.
