All cast members must be available for all of tech week and all shows.

Because theatre is a collaborative process, it’s important that everyone involved can commit to the rehearsal schedule. Cast members are required to attend at least 90% of all rehearsals. Untold Stories Theatre does not typically encourage performers to take place in multiple shows at a time, please indicate these as conflicts on your form.

All known conflicts must be listed on your audition form (including any conflicts with the callback date) and should be finalized prior to casting. The production team will do their best to accommodate conflicts shared in advance, however, please understand that an excess of conflicts may influence casting decisions.

Please review all the production dates to ensure you are able to commit to the show:

ABOUT SWINGS

As a swing, your job is to learn several ensemble tracks (and sometimes a few larger roles, depending on the show) so you’re ready to jump in if someone in the cast can’t perform. You’ll still be on stage for every performance in a few select group numbers, and you’ll always get to take a bow at the end of the show.

We’re looking for strong singers, dancers, and actors who are reliable and adaptable—people we can count on to help keep the show going no matter what. It’s a great chance for experienced performers to grow and challenge themselves in a new way.
