Auditions
FAQs
-
The director will choose excerpts from the script to be read by those at auditions. These will be distributed at the audition. Generally, no monologue or other materials will be needed for non-musical auditions. Scripts are available for check out 1-2 weeks before the audition. We highly recommend that you read the script ahead of time to familiarize yourself with the story and characters.
For a musical, you will need to prepare roughly 30 seconds, or 16-bars of a song that showcases your voice. An accompanist will be present if you have sheet music, or we will have a speaker available if you are using a pre-recorded track. There will also be a choreographer present to teach a simple dance routine.

The cast list will be emailed out to all of those that auditioned, and will be posted to The Point Theatre’s Facebook page. The list is typically posted within 1 week of the audition date.

Rehearsal schedules can vary depending on what works best for the director and cast. Typically, rehearsals take place on weekdays in the evenings; usually beginning at 6pm. Depending on the role you are cast in, you may not be required to attend every rehearsal. Technical rehearsals are held the week leading up to opening night. Tech rehearsals are mandatory for all cast and crew of a show, and will normally run later than other rehearsals.

Don’t give up! We have all been there, and we know how it feels. Unfortunately, there are only so many parts in each show and, though we’d like to, we can’t cast everyone. Don’t let that discourage you! Ask us about ways you can still be involved in the production. We are always looking for volunteers to help with painting, lighting, sound, costumes, backstage crew, and other vital roles to help our productions get on their feet. Also don’t forget, we are always moving forward and the next round of auditions will be here before you know it!

ABOUT THE SHOW:
An adventure tale like no other! Shipwrecked! is a playful, fast-paced theatrical romp based on the supposed memoirs of Louis de Rougemont, a would-be Victorian explorer. Told with wit, heart, and a healthy dose of imagination, the story leaps from the streets of 19th-century London to exotic islands, flying wombats, sea monsters, and beyond. With only three actors playing dozens of roles, this play celebrates the magic of storytelling and theatrical invention.
ROLES AVAILABLE:
This is an ensemble piece for 3 versatile actors. All roles are open to performers of all races, genders, and backgrounds. Strong physicality, character work, and comic timing are essential.
Louis de Rougemont – The charismatic and possibly delusional narrator of his own grand tale. Must have strong storytelling ability and the charm to carry the show.
Player 1 – Plays a variety of roles including Louis’s mother, Queen Victoria, and many others. Strong character and accent skills required.
Player 2 – Plays roles such as Bruno the dog, Captain Jensen, and numerous other characters. Requires physical versatility and a sense of fun.
