Auditions

Auditions for our September 2025 show will be held between 12:30 and 3:30 on Sunday July 13th at Thurber Center (91 Jefferson Avenue). You will not need to stay the whole time. Auditions will be readings in groups of 1-3 people, depending on who is present and what scenes the directors want to see.

• No specific appointments, resumes, or monologue prep necessary! Auditions will be cold reads from a few of the short plays that will be performed in the festival.

• Before arriving, please fill out this online audition form!

• This Short Play Festival will have one performance on September 26th at 8 PM, and two performances on September 27th (one at 2 PM and one at 8 PM), and 2-3 days of tech rehearsals in the week leading up to the performances (September 22-25). All tech rehearsals and performances will be in the Shedd Theatre (549 Franklin Ave, Columbus, OH 43215). Each short play will have 4-6 rehearsals (per director discretion) at meeting places determined by the director (often these are library conference/meeting rooms).

• If you can't make it to these auditions but would still like to throw your hat in the ring, we accept video auditions emailed to theatrereset@gmail.com. You may send a video of yourself performing a monologue of approximately one minute in length by 11:59 PM on Friday, July 11th. If you send in a video audition, you will still need to fill out the same audition form.
