Get Involved!
On Stage
Want to try acting? We have open auditions for each production. Just send us an email to be added to our actors' mailing list. Please include your name, address, phone number, and personal email address and your age and we will notify you as auditions are scheduled.
Behind the Scenes
If you have construction knowledge we need you! We also need people to help paint the set once it's built. Set building and painting are under the direction of the set designer so there's someone here to guide you. We also need people to work with props, costumes, be a crew member for a show, or learn how to run the lights and sound. Our volunteers make each production a success!
Ushering
If you want to help out (and see the show!) but don’t think you’ll have time to work the run of a show, ushering is a great way to volunteer. The commitment is light, but the help is appreciated! We need ushers for every performance.
Cleaning, Organizing, and Historical Services
Our beautiful building can always use extra hands to keep it clean and organized. We need help keeping our costumes and props organized and managing our scrapbook of past productions.
If you are interested in helping us in any way contact us at:
boxoffice@gbcommunitytheater.com. We'd love to hear from you.
You can also join our private volunteers group on facebook for additional volunteer opportunities!
Did you know: We have over 50 volunteers per production! It's a great way to make friends!
Audition Information
Audition Information for the 2024-2025 Season Show 2
Auditions for The Tin Woman
Written by: Sean Grennan
Director: Dave Zochert
November 18th & 19 6:30-8:30 pm
CHARACTERS:
(Ages for all characters are flexible. The director will cast whoever is best suited for the role.)
Note: Descriptions come from the script.
Joy, "mid 20's to late 30's, a freelance graphic artist. At the outset, Joy has received a life-saving heart transplant but is conflicted about what to do now."
Hank, "early 60's. He is nearing retirement as head of a small building supplies company. Husband to Alice and father to Sammy and now-deceased heart donor Jack..."
Jack, "36, an accountant with aspriations of being a professional photographer. He dresses fashionably, hipster-ish. Jack is dead at the outset but nonetheless appears throughout the show. He's not a ghost exactly, more of a memory that lingers."
Alice, "early 60's mother to the deceased Jack and to Sammy. She is a solid, loving, enduring presnce."
Sammy, "20's-30's a preschool teacher and Jack's younger sister. She's somewhat "new age-y" but with an enormous heart."
Nurse/ Darla, "30's-60's. Nurse is very competent if a bit annoying in her approach. She's a by the book in all things but, probably because she is so busy, can sometimes condescend. A functionary but positive person with a small religious streak. Darla is somewhat flamboyant, artsy, very caring got Joy. A singular soul in habit and dress. She worries about and wants the best for her friend."
All character information is subject to the director’s interpretation, you can be close to the description in age and still audition.

How To Audition
We audition for shows using cold reads, which means no memorizing monologues, also it allows you to audition last minute if you decide on the spot that you would like to try out for a show. When someone auditions all they have to do is show up, fill out an audition form (you do not need any experience to audition) and read with another person on stage. We typically hold two nights of auditions so if you want to go to one, or both you can based on your schedule. We try and make the audition processes accessible for people who want to give acting a try. Typically throughout our season have 2-6+ new actors who have never been on our stage before!
We also provide a few things to help actors know when auditions are coming up and when scripts are available to check out.
There are three ways to know when auditions are coming up:
-
On our get involved page at gbcommunitytheater.com
-
On our Facebook page under events.
-
By getting on our Actors List. Email: boxoffice@gbcommunitytheater.com
If you cannot make it to auditions you can contact us via email, phone, or in person. We can then sometimes schedule an individual audition time chosen by the director of the show. (This however is not always possible)
Example of an Audition Form:
