How We Do Auditions

Our musical auditions are a combination of prepared song pieces by you, the auditioner, and "cold reads".  For plays, auditions are generally limited to “cold reads,” meaning that no preparation is necessary. Each director may handle auditions slightly differently, so we encourage you to read the audition notice for the show you are interested in auditioning for. If you feel inclined to get a jump on the competition, many scripts are available at The Toledo Lucas County Public Library. Headshots and résumés are not required, however, they are always appreciated. We provide a brief information sheet that you will need to complete in order to audition. So what are you waiting for?!

If you know of anyone who might like to be added to The Village Players’ email audition list, please subscribe to our newsletters. Thank you for your interest.

Synopsis
Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
