General Info About OLT Auditions
Auditions are typically held on a Monday and a Tuesday evening, starting at 7:00 p.m or a Sunday afternoon and Monday evening. You do not have to attend both nights of auditions, but you are welcome to read both nights of auditions if you’d like. If callbacks are necessary, the director will schedule the date and time.
Audition appointments are not necessary unless you are unable to attend auditions on the regularly scheduled days and times. In that case, the Director may agree to schedule a separate audition appointment for you. This choice is entirely up to the Director.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. You do not need to have prepared monologues. Copies of the scripts for the current season’s plays are available at the Downtown, Lacey, and Tumwater branches of the Timberland Library. You may ask for a copy of the script at the information desk. Scripts are only available for use at the library and may not be checked out.
Headshots and resumes are welcome at auditions, but are not necessary.
Rehearsals are typically Monday through Thursday. Additional rehearsals and/or the rehearsal schedule are at the Director’s discretion. Performances are typically Thursday through Sunday; Sunday is the only matinee.
Olympia Little Theatre is a community theater and you need not have any previous experience, just passion and commitment!
UPCOMING AUDITIONS:
The three lead women are between 45-65 years old
CONNIE HARLAND: mother of Rachel, who finds on this fateful bridge night that life doesn’t end in your 50’s.
LEONA: One of Connie’s closest friends and a member of the bridge club for over 30 years. A woman who’s a beautician by profession and a rather caustic lush by preference.
MILLIE: Another of Connie’s friends and a long-standing member of the bridge club. This is a woman who moves to her own special drummer, even though she’s the only one who can hear him.
RACHEL ANN: 20-something, a young woman who seems to have issues with life and men until bridge night opens her eyes.
POLICEMAN / BOBBY: 23, a young man of many talents, and they all come to “bare” on the ladies’ bridge night.
BUTTER-BUTT: The cat.
