Theatre Production Auditions

Show us what you've got!

Actor onstage with a document in handAuditions are held in the Department of Theatre and Film to determine a cast for a particular show. An audition is NOT required to be accepted into a Theatre or Film degree program at the University of Toledo.

Auditions to our plays are open to everyone – including non-students.  Our program seeks to create an inclusive and equitable space and follows a conscientious approach to casting that honors the diversity in our lived experiences and identities. Our goal is to authentically and imaginatively bring all stories to the stage and screen.
