Volunteers are part of the heartbeat of Charleston Stage. From ushering to special events, there are many ways to get involved and be close to the work on our stage.
Charleston Stage's annual auditions are open to adults and high school students (rising grades 9 to 12). While we have a Resident Acting Company and guest actors, community actors make up a large part of our company each season in leading and supporting roles. Newcomers are welcome.
Auditions for the 2026-27 season are now closed. Please check back in March 2027 for information about the 2027-28 season.
