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.

  • Anyone! We produce a variety of shows, all of which require different and diverse casts. As a community theatre, we welcome everyone to come be a part of our season.

  • Auditions are generally held 2 months before a show is set to open. Depending on the show, this can vary. Audition dates for each show can be found further down on this page.

  • 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.

  • That’s no problem! We encourage everyone to come and audition! The Point Theatre is a place where lovers of the performing arts can come together, regardless of experience, to learn and create. We are an educational facility, with many knowledgeable people that can help you grow as an artist!

  • 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!

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. No monologues are required. Please arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork.

Rehearsals will be scheduled based on cast availability. Love Letters is a low-tech, script-in-hand production with an emphasis on emotional truth, timing, and connection.

Character Descriptions

Love Letters features two roles, played by actors who portray the characters over the course of several decades. Casting is open with flexibility around age; emotional range and chemistry are most important.

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III
Male-presenting. Andrew is earnest, idealistic, and well-intentioned, though often blind to his own emotional limitations. He grows into a successful career and a conventional life, but struggles to fully articulate his feelings. This role requires warmth, subtle humor, and the ability to convey longing beneath restraint.

Melissa Gardner
Female-presenting. Melissa is intelligent, creative, witty, and emotionally complex. She is both charming and troubled, navigating a life filled with promise, rebellion, and heartbreak. The role calls for emotional depth, vulnerability, and strong comedic instincts.

Please note: Love Letters contains adult language and mature themes. Actors should be comfortable exploring emotionally complex material.

This production is directed by Sarah Tacey, who may choose to cast more than one couple, allowing multiple interpretations of the characters across different performances.
