If you auditioned for us at the Milwaukee Generals at the Rep in January of 2018, you need not audition.
You will have 6 minutes total for your audition. You are asked to perform either: 2 songs and a monologue, or 2 monologues and song, whichever you prefer. 32 bars is fine. An accompanist will be provided. Please bring at least two (2) copies of your headshot and resume. You will be auditioning for Jeff Frank, Artistic Director; John Maclay, Associate Artistic Director and Director of the Young Company; Jeff Schaetzke, Company Manager and Director/Music Director in the upcoming season; as well as some other Artistic and Academy staff. Directors for the upcoming season will be invited.
Our 2018-2019 Season will be announced soon. We will not be having any show-specific auditions on this day, but will contact actors should we need you for call backs for any specific show. We respectfully ask that if you are not available during the season (September – May) that you do not come to this call (i.e. you will be in college). If you auditioned for us at the Milwaukee Generals at the Rep in January, you need not audition.
