If you are interested in trying out for one
of the Playhouse's upcoming productions, be
sure to contact the playhouse to get on our
audition e-Mail list. No experience is
necessary to audition beyond a passion and a
talent for acting, but please be sure that
you can commit to the performance and the
rehearsal schedule. Auditions are held at
the Playhouse.
Auditions are usually held 6-8 weeks before
the opening of a show. Rehearsals generally
run Monday through Thursday (sometimes
Fridays too) in the evenings. Mainstage
performances run Friday through Saturday
evenings, and Sunday afternoons with a
couple of Thursday performances thrown in
for good measure. Performances generally
have a four week run ... with a few
exceptions.
Visit Back at the end of Summer for
Auditions for our great new season of Plays.
Beginning
with The Supporting Cast
Please email
box_office@caminorealplayhouse.org
or call (949) 489-8082 for
audition updates.
Roles in musicals and the melodrama require
a strong sense of comedy, big voices, a
strong stage presence.
If you audition for a role in our summer
Shakespeare Festival ... you might want to
have some semblance of a British accent in
your repertoire. When you
audition you will be reading from script
excerpts. For future reference ... ShowOff! is a
great place to get introduced to acting at
the Playhouse ... there are 7 different
short 10 minute plays and 7 different
directors that need to get their productions
cast. And if you like to sing and dance but
want to have a more relaxed improvisational
experience ... be sure to audition for our
annual Old West Style Melodrama.
All actors who appear on our stages are
volunteers, giving their time and talent to
ensure top-quality theater experiences for
South County's play-going public. The Camino
Real Playhouse offers a wealth of
opportunity for creativity and growth,
guided by our professional staff.
The Playhouse encourages newcomers and takes
pride in the fact that almost every
production - in the Mainstage marks the
debut of at least one actor at Camino Real
Playhouse. The Camino Real Playhouse is
becoming South Orange County's destination
for whimsical, gripping and compelling
performances.
Volunteers are
also encouraged to participate in every area
of production. Basic instruction and
guidance is offered to any individual with
the desire to help. Backstage activities
include: sewing, scenic painting, carpentry,
prop gathering, set design assistance,
follow spot, sound and lighting board
operations. Front of house activities
include: office help, box office workers,
ushers and concessionaire. In addition ...
volunteers are also needed to assist with
marketing and fundraising and we always need
stage managers, assistant stage managers,
and dedicated stage crew for every show. If
you want to volunteer ... please visit our
volunteer's page for more information. We
all wear a lot of different hats here at the
Camino Real Playhouse.
You, too, can become part of our over
14-year tradition of service and fun for the
entire family.
