Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to have any previous experience?
One of the great things about theater is that it's open to everyone, regardless of experience. Whether you're an established actor or a beginner looking to try something new, we encourage you to audition!
What is a callback?
A callback is where the director might want to see you perform from the script, respond to direction, or work with another actor to feel out how you would fit in the production. Call backs are invitation only. If you don't receive a callback, it does not necessarily mean you won't be cast!
When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals are typically scheduled 2 -4 evenings during the week and Saturday mornings/early afternoons). Rehearsals may be extended closer to opening. Not everyone is called for all rehearsals.
Lake Region Community Theatre is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability in our audition process or in any aspect of our productions.
