Fall 2025 Auditions
AUDITION FOR BIT PARTS!
Are you interested in high school drama, satirical comedy, or being part of the world premiere of a new original musical? If so, have we got a show for you!
When Jenny, who has been treated as a side character all her life, is asked about plans for her future, she realizes that she has no clue what’s in store for her. She, along with her friend Ted, navigate what it means to come of age, finding who they are as characters in a show written for their more interesting friends. Betrayal! Love! Prom! Tax evasion? Don’t worry about it!
Sign up here for a slot! Auditions will be held in Bloomberg E50 on the following days:
- Tuesday, September 9th
- Thursday, September 11th
- Saturday, September 13th
We will ask you to prepare a 32-bar/1-minute cut of a musical theater song and 2 sides. More information here!
We are also looking for a stage manager and assistant stage managers, as well as the following pit orchestra members: drum, flute, violin, cello, and trumpet. If you are interested, please reach out to John Heitz (jh5687@princeton.edu).
