What is a callback audition?
In-person callback auditions will take place on Sunday, November 16. Exact times will be communicated when callback invitations go out.
Callbacks are for the audition panel/directing team to see an actor in a more specific audition setting. Some actors will be called back to audition for specific characters. THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THEY WILL BE CAST AS THAT CHARACTER! Callbacks do not guarantee that an actor is cast in any role, nor does not receiving a callback mean they will not be cast in the show. No casting decisions are final until the full cast is decided and announced after all auditions have been held. Final casting offers will be emailed on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
