MidWest Theatre Auditions

February 22-24, 2013

WEATHER UPDATE (2/21): The MidWest Theatre Auditions will continue as scheduled in the event of inclement weather.  Please allow extra travel time in the event of winter storms.  If weather delays prevent you from being on time to your audition slot, we will attempt to fit you in at a later time.  We will do our best to accommodate all auditions who are affected by weather delays. 


We are no longer accepting applications for the 2013 MidWest Theatre Auditions. Please check back in Fall 2013 for information about the 2014 MWTA!

Acting Auditions

General auditions begin at 8:30 a.m. each day. Callbacks will be held during the afternoon and evening of the same day. Each auditionee will have a one-and-a-half-minute time frame to present one or two pieces. Musical pieces are encouraged for those wishing to be considered for musicals, but one at least one piece must be non-musical. An accompanist will be provided.

Dance Auditions

Dance auditions are optional and will be held each day following the general auditions.
