Upcoming Casting Opportunities

2025 WATERWORKS
Cold-Plunge Auditions
Auditions: Sunday, February 16 (1-5pm)
Whether you’re a seasoned performer, or are just dipping your toe in, we’d love to have you join us for our third festival of concert and staged readings of new works for the theater. Anyone and everyone interested in acting during the 2025 WATERWORKS Festival, a celebration of new theatrical works coming up May 16-June 1 at Live Arts Theater, is invited to the party.
WATERWORKS COLD-PLUNGE AUDITIONS will serve as general auditions for the festival (age 15+).
Actors aged 15+ are invited to learn about acting opportunities, ask questions about the festival, and audition for our WATERWORKS actor pool during the event on February 16.
Please email volunteer@livearts.org to reserve your audition slot. We will accommodate as many walk-ins as possible, but reserving a slot will avoid a long wait time!
What to prepare: No need to prepare a monologue! Just please come prepared to fill out a conflict calendar for March 1-June 1, 2025. We will ask actors to do a cold reading* with materials provided upon arrival.
*What’s a cold reading? You will be given a pre-marked section of a script, have a few
minutes to look it over, and then read it aloud for the director pool.
AUDITIONS FOR 2025 SUMMER TEEN SHOWS
GENERAL NOTE: These two shows are performed in a rotating repertory, meaning they alternate on a given night. You will be given an opportunity to let the directors know which show or shows you are interested in. We encourage actors to audition for both shows, if interested. In an ideal world, the directors are seeking one cast for both shows, however actors only interested in one or the other will still be considered!
Actors must be 14-21 years old to be considered for casting.
