Audition for LFC!
The Lost Flamingo Theatre Company holds auditions for two days during the first week of every semester for three plays and one musical. Generally, around 60-80 acting and tech positions are available, varying each time. Each directing team of the semester will be present for auditions, although auditioners are not required to audition for every show. Our auditions are very friendly and fun! We hope to see you at our next audition season! Read below for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions
When are auditions?
Auditions are held the Wednesday and Thursday of Week 1 each semester, 6pm-9pm on both days.
Where are auditions?
The location is subject to change. Check our Instagram or Facebook during Week 1 to find out specific information.
Do I have to be memorized?
No, but be familiar with the monologue and/or song! Sometimes memorization aids in confidence, and allows for more body language. We want to see you engaging and really acting! It does not have to be an actual monologue; you also can simply talk about your day, tell a story, or tell our directors a meme for your 1 minute monologue.
How do callbacks work?
Callback lists will go out sometime after auditions Thursday night, posted on LFC's Instagram and Facebook. Here, names will be listed for each show for each role. Specific information such as locations, time blocks, and content to prepare will be sent out. Typically, play callbacks will consist of group cold reads, while musicals will have music pieces to prepare and a dance call. You can be called back for more than one show! Don't worry, we will make sure that your callbacks won't overlap.
What if I don't get cast?
We would still love for you to be a part of the company and help out with our shows! Other ways you can get involved is with our prop and costume guilds, as well as set build days. Just because you weren't cast this semester doesn't mean you won't be cast next semester! Stay involved and meet lots of new faces while learning more about theater!
