Community Theatre
UP is a community theatre that strives for excellence. Experience is not needed to audition or be cast in our productions, although some shows require specific skills. We often teach as we go. We are friendly and welcoming and want you to succeed, so please don't be nervous! We do not subscribe to favoritism and cast based solely on the best decisions for the production.

What to Prepare

Auditioners are asked to prepare a one-minute comedic monologue from contemporary theatre literature. Actors may be asked to read from the script.

A contemporary monologue is a speech drawn from a play written within the 20th or 21st century. It's often characterized by more colloquial language and a focus on contemporary issues or concerns, reflecting the evolving nature of theatrical and dramatic works.

Rehearsals

Schedule: Most Wednesday & Thursday Evenings (6 - 10 pm) and Sunday afternoons (12-6pm). These are called our Rehearsal Brackets

Cast will only be called when needed based on scenes
A detailed schedule comes out on a weekly basis for individual rehearsals inside the brackets.
We will rehearse at Theatre UP On Main and perform at the Littleton Opera House
Rehearsals begin around December 9, 2026

Cast members are expected to attend all rehearsals they are called for, excluding conflicts previously noted at auditions.
