MOUNT CARROLL, ILLINOIS (February 6, 2024) — Timber Lake Playhouse, the premier professional summer theatre of northwest Illinois, announces auditions for local children, teens, and adults for their upcoming 2024 Season.
Timber Lake Playhouse will again be casting local performers for a variety of performance opportunities. Roles are available for local actors and actresses ages six to 106 to perform ensemble roles in The Nerd, Footloose, The Wizard of Oz, and Anything Goes as well as children for the Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz. Additionally, TLP will also be casting two local actors ages seven to ten for the role of Thor in The Nerd.
Auditions will take place on Saturday, February 17, at the playhouse, 9AM-5PM. Auditionees are asked to prepare 32 bars of a song. Please bring sheet music as TLP will provide an accompanist. You can also sing using accompaniment tracks. There will be a dance combination taught at the end of every hour. Make sure you are in attendance for one of the dance sessions and wear clothes you can move in with appropriate shoes (no heels).
If you can’t make auditions, you may send a video. Your video audition should include a short monologue, 32 bars of a song showing off your voice, and a short dance. Include a headshot (picture of yourself) and résumé. Videos can be sent to casting@timberlakeplayhouse.org with Local Audition in the heading.
