On Saturday, Sept. 12 Heartwood Regional Theater Company will hold low key auditions at the Poe Theater, 81 Academy Hill Road, Newcastle, from 10 a.m. to noon.

If you have not auditioned or performed with Heartwood in the past, please bring a one minute monologue to perform. You will also be invited to read from a script with a partner.

If you are new to Heartwood, and would like to introduce yourself, please don't hesitate to forward standard headshots and resumes to Artistic Director Griff Braley at braley@lincolnacademy.org.

Overall, this is a time for you to meet the company, for us to meet you, to see what we can make together.

For those who have performed with us: We will have paired readings from some of the plays under consideration. Bring a partner or we can supply one.

Plays under consideration for a May 2027 production include musicals like "Sweeney Todd," plays with music like "One Man, Two Guv’nors," and other titles both new and classical, like "Murder on the Orient Express" and the Greek tragedy, "The Persians." Titles to be chosen based in part on audition turnout.

Plays are under consideration for "Summer Shorts" (10-to-30-minute plays) in June/July. We expect to include one play for students only. We will hold a separate audition for students in the spring. More on that later in the year.
