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. This may include the requirement to wear masks and adhere to other protocols if someone falls ill. Our actor handbook, available in our auditions group, outlines our policies in detail.
