CAST Summer Student Workshop

Directed by Gena Lea Smith & Victoria Mitchell

*** The actor does not need to be the exact age of the character they will portray.  Teenagers and adults can audition for a role.  Acting experience is not required but will be a large advantage with these zany characters.

*** If you do not know the show, you are not required to watch it, but it may help you to understand the type of show we will be performing and help you decide on the side you will choose.

*** If you do know the show and would like to audition for a specific role, be prepared to discuss your choice at auditions.

Noises Off

Directed by Darve Smith

Open auditions will be held on Sunday, May 11th (2pm - 3pm) & Monday, May 12th (6pm - 7pm) at the CAST Theatre located at 920 Nichols Avenue in Bay City, Texas.  You only need to attend one of the auditions.  If you can not attend either audition date, you may submit a video audition instead.

Imagine the most chaotic, hilarious backstage farce you can possibly conceive, and then multiply it by ten. That's "Noises Off." It's a play within a play, and it's a masterclass in physical comedy, precise timing, and sheer, delightful pandemonium.

Audition Tips:

Auditioners will...

...check the rehearsal and performance dates and determine if they can make ALL the performance dates, ALL the rehearsals in the 2 weeks prior to the performance dates & most of the preceding rehearsal dates.  There is a LOT of rapid-fire entrances, exits and physical comedy. If you are going to miss a week of rehearsals you may never catch-up.  The actors MUST learn all the fast-paced cues and axe-swings together, not with a stand-in.

...fill out the online audition form:  HERE

...show up at your chosen audition date and time, on time.

...memorize and perform one of the sides linked below.

...memorize and perform a one minute monologue of your choosing.


If you audition with a video submission, spend the first minute or two introducing yourself, telling a bit about your acting experience and why you chose to audition for this show.  Follow that with the performance of the side you chose from the list, and finish with the monologue of you own choosing.  Email the video (one video file, not 3) to darvesmith@baycitycast.com on or before Monday, May 12th.  If the file is too big to send, you may also upload to YouTube or other video site and send a link instead.  Any other questions, send an email to darvesmith@baycitycast.com.
