General Information About Auditions at Theatre South
Carolina
Anyone may audition and every interested person is
encouraged to audition. Theatre South Carolina casts a number of
non-students
every year if not in every show. Production is an extension of
teaching, so students needs are one factor considered in casting but
not the only factor.
TSC tries to audition all shows for a semester at
one time. The directors for each show together with the Artistic
Director and the acting faculty decide on casting. Occasionally
some parts will be cast before auditions; this is always true in
the case of guest actors.
TSC embraces non-traditional casting. The use of
ethnic minority actors, female actors, and physically-challenged
actors
is encouraged where these elements are not essential to the story
of the play.
Actors should sign up for audition times before the
audition nights in the Department office, 4th floor of Longstreet
Theatre. Some scripts will be available for checkout in the
Department office before auditions.
Auditions are usually held in the acting studios on
the first floor of Booker
T. Washington Auditorium, entered from Wheat Street between
Pickens and Bull Streets.
Generally, actors are expected to present a short
monologue at the first auditions. For the exact nature of the monologue,
see the posting for a specific show in the Department office. Sides
are provided to be read at call-backs. Call-backs are posted in
the Department office. Casting will also be posted in the Department
office.
Good Luck!
