Information for Auditioners- To request an audition time, please email us at sbts@nfld.com - we'll reply to give you a time, usually within 48 hours
- We suggest that you arrive early enough to fill out an audition form on which we'll ask for a little information about you and your schedule.
- No preparation is necessary, as we will have readings available from the plays, but prepared readings of Shakespeare are always welcome also.
- You will have an opportunity at the audition to indicate your
preference (if any) if you wish to be considered for a particular play
or role, or if there is any other capacity in which you would be
interested in being involved with the Festival. We also have room for volunteers in backstage and technical positions.

Rehearsals will be held on evenings and weekends around the work
schedules of the participants, which we will expect everyone to give us
a fair idea of at the auditions.
