Audition Advice

Where/When	Unless otherwise stated, auditions are held at the Sandgate Town Hall. Normally they are held in the last week of the previous performance starting (on the Tuesday and Thursday) at 7:30pm.

Cost/Pay	Sandgate Theatre is a community theatre, operated on a not-for-profit basis. As we seek community involvement, there are no charges beyond membership charges. If you are not already a member, then enrollment will be requested if you are successful. All roles are also voluntary, hence no roles are paid.

Preparation	No preparation is required prior to attending, except to bring along a fun and outgoing attitude. Many auditions are performed informally, depending on the size of the play and the number of candidates. If you would like to try for a specific role, please let the director know so they can take this into consideration.

Who	Generally speaking the director will perform the audition.

Commitment	If you are successful for a part, then a copy of the script is provided and a schedule of rehearsals. Generally the schedule is based around: Tuesday nights - 7:30-9:30 Thursday nights - 7:30-9:30 Sunday afternoons/evening - 1:30-9:30 To ensure the best success, attendance to all required rehearsals is required. Naturally if this is not possible, please discuss with the director as early as possible to allow workarounds to be made. Performances are generally on a Friday and Saturday nights for 3 weeks with the option of a matinee on a Sunday. All costume/props borrowed from the theatre should be returned at the completion of the show. As Sandgate Theatre share the location, some assistance with set-up/pull-down would be appreciated. Sometimes this can be between shows.

How do I found out when auditions are approaching	Beside monitoring this website, we have a mailing list that can give you some notice of the next audition - make sure you tick the Auditions notifications.
