2026 Rabbit Run Theater Auditions
It’s that time of year again and auditions for the 2026 Rabbit Run Theater season are upon us! We’ve got a wonderful season in store including a comedy, two musicals, a musical revue–PLUS a Youth Production!
Whether you are an acting veteran or a newbie, everyone is welcome to audition. We have lots of available roles to cast, so be bold, pick up the phone and schedule an audition appointment.
Auditions are by appointment only. An audition appointment typically lasts 30 minutes.
Anyone auditioning for a musical should be prepared to sing 32 measures of a Broadway-style song. Please bring sheet music for the accompanist. Wear comfortable clothing (no sweatpants) for movement.
Actors auditioning for “Stepping Out” will read from the script. No need to prepare a monologue.
Audition information for the Youth Production coming soon.
