Elision Audition Process
We are pleased to announce a new audition process for Theatre Elision. Going forward, we will have an open submission process. While we will make a formal request for submissions at least twice each year, performers are welcome to submit to us at any time.
Because we only produce musicals, submissions should include one minute of a song you feel best reflects your strengths as a performer. You are welcome to submit multiple songs if you’d like to showcase various styles or vocal ranges. Because we also often produce shows where actors play instruments, you are welcome to send us a sample of your playing, whether alone or accompanying yourself. Please include your headshot and resume and any other information you think we should know about you as a performer.
We will use these submissions as our pool of individuals to invite to callbacks for specific shows, at which time we will ask for either submissions or in-person auditions of songs and/or sides from the show. We will also open up show-specific auditions at that time for those who may have not previously submitted or haven’t submitted for a while – again, asking people to perform a designated song from the show.
We are doing this to make our audition process as accessible as possible, and to expand the pool of performers we will consider for our productions.
Submissions are now open and we look forward to seeing your work. If you have any questions about this process or what shows are being cast at any given time, don’t hesitate to email us. We will always update where we are on casting on our website.
Send all submissions and questions to:
