Answer: No experience is necessary to audition! Cloverdale Performing Arts Center is a community theater, and we welcome performers of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned professionals. What’s most important is your enthusiasm and passion for being part of a creative team.

Audition requirements can vary depending on the production. Some may ask for a prepared monologue, while others may involve cold readings from the script. Specific audition details will be provided in the audition announcement, so make sure to check the requirements for the show you’re interested in.

You can sign up for an audition for a specific show. Generally speaking, we accept digital or in-person auditions. We will do our best to accomodate schedules. While we accept walk-ins, it's recommended to register ahead of time.

We also are happy to accept auditions outside of the audition period. We are always adding new shows and it would be great to have your information on file!

If you aren’t cast in a specific role, there are still many ways to get involved! We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with backstage work, set design, costumes, and other areas. Plus, auditioning is a great way to get to know our theater and directors for future productions.

We are a small community theatre, and unfortunately we are not able to pay actors what some of the larger theatre's are able to pay.

However, we do collect cash at the front of the theatre during the performance, which is then split amongst the cast.

Cloverdale Performing Arts Center is a safe space. A lot of us involved have worked with other theatre companies and have noticed that there is a shockingly bad treatment of fellow artists often. We strive to keep the theatre a safe space for everyone. We will not tolerate ego trips from actors, directors, or anyone else involved.
