Important Notes

  • Some roles may involve mild physical contact or intimacy, such as hugging or kissing, but all will remain at a PG level.

  • All roles are currently open. If cast in both shows, you must accept both roles as a package.

  • Rehearsals and castings prioritize safety and inclusivity. Bullying and derogatory comments regarding race, religion, culture, gender, or identity will not be tolerated. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds to audition.

  • Participation in strike (post-production teardown) is mandatory to receive stipends and to be in the shows.

  • Rehearsal schedules are tailored to actor conflicts. Be thorough and honest about conflicts from February 15 to May 4, 2025.

  • Please have your decision ready when we call; a simple "yes" or "no" is sufficient.

  • Avoid delays, such as needing to check schedules or consult others, as it slows the process. This should be done before you audition.

  • If not cast, updates will be posted in the SSG Auditions Facebook Group. We do not make individual calls.

COVID-19 Policy

We take precautions to safeguard the health of our cast, including measures to prevent illnesses such as colds and flu, in addition to COVID-19.
