Whether or not you have auditioned previously for First Stage we are asking that all folks interested participate in our General Auditions this Spring (to be
considered for all shows in the season) or this summer (if you are only interested in shows rehearsing in the second half of our season.) If you are interested in auditioning for First Stage
this season, please review our 2024/2025 season shows and dates to choose the productions/opportunities/roles for which you would like to be considered. Once you have made that decision, here
are the next steps:
1. Schedule your Audition Date and Time
Schedule a time for an in-person audition by picking an available time slot on our Bookings page here.
All in-person auditions and callbacks will take place at Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, 325 West Walnut Street.
2. Complete your Audition Form.
Once you’ve signed up for an audition time, you will be sent a confirmation email with a link to our SharePoint. This site will include a mandatory
audition form and all audition materials, updates, and FAQs for your perusal.
REQUIRED AUDITION FORM
3. Prepare Your Audition
For your audition, please prepare a memorized monologue (between 30 seconds to 1-minute).
If you’d like to be considered for a musical, please also prepare 30 seconds of a song of your choosing. All songs will
be sung acapella (no music, just voice).
Or, if you would prefer preparing a scene and song (if you want to be considered for the musicals in our season) from one of the
productions that you are interested in, look through the scenes and songs available for your preferred show and choose a character and a scene and song to prepare (we will ask other
auditionees to read with you at the audition if needed). Once you sign up for an audition time, we will share audition materials from the season that you can choose from.
Please note that some of the shows you may be interested in auditioning for also ask for a song.
NOTE – Though you may be using materials from a specific show, we will consider you for all options in our season for which you are available. Please note
all shows for which you are interested in being considered for on your audition form.
4. Arrive 15 minutes before your slot and break a leg!
Plan to park in the side lot of the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, 325 West Walnut Street. Enter through the main entrance and follow the
signs that will lead you through the left side of the building. We will have someone at the Auditions table to greet you and check you in.
Then get pumped to show us what you’ve prepared! ????
