Auditions at Virginia Samford Theatre

  • In-person Auditions – We’re pleased to announce that we will return to holding in-person auditions. The complete list of audition days can be found below. Simply sign-up for a time in advance and send us your headshot and resume, then arrive at the theatre about 10 minutes beforehand on the day of auditions. 

  • Online Submissions – In the event you cannot attend an in-person audition day, online submissions will be accepted. The online submission link with deadlines can be found below. Please have your online audition form, (including headshot, resume, and video) submitted 24 hours before the in-person audition day. 

  • Callbacks – Creative teams will review online submissions and consider in-person auditions before sharing callback information. The callback dates can be found below. Actors will be given callback material to review before the callback time. In the event someone is unable to attend callbacks, we may schedule an additional callback time or accept a video callback. 

  • Casting – After callbacks are held, casting decisions will be made, and casting notices will be sent to all auditionees. In the event you are cast, you will also receive an offer and have one week to accept or decline your role. In the event you are not cast, we may circle back to you about casting in the event someone declines their role and we, of course, highly encourage you to audition for us again in the future. 

All roles are paid. We cannot offer housing or cover travel expenses for non-local talent. 

The Virginia Samford Theatre encourages people of all races, ages, ethnicities, abilities, and gender identities to submit. The VST will remain committed to EDIA (Equity, Diversity, inclusion, and Accessibility) for all.
