Men are especially encouraged to audition. LifeHouse Theater is a service organization and we hope you’ll consider devoting your time and talent to serve our community through the arts. (Dates and titles subject to change. For latest information, call 909-335-3037 and dial 5)

Audition Tip: While standard Broadway, Rodgers and Hammerstein, or other such common selections are usually the best choice for an audition, it is more important that you are familiar and comfortable with whatever you decide to sing. If you do not know any suitable songs, please feel free to sing “Happy Birthday” (no sheet music required.) * For our non-musical productions, please prepare a monologue of no more than 1 minute in length.  Selections from the production are preferred, but not required.

Dear Pursued Auditioner:

Thank you for taking time to audition for “Pursued - A Jonah Story.”  All of us on the audition committee are grateful for the honor of your presence and the time you invested in being with us to make a memorable audition presentation.

As you know from the comments at the auditions, “Pursued - A Jonah Story” script has its own unique framework and particular demands.  Therefore, competition is keen --- Especially when one considers that so many of those who auditioned were extremely talented young people.

We count you as among the talented!  And we are also humbled by how many truly talented people there are in the Inland Empire.  The high caliber of audition talent present is most impressive and we consider it a privilege that you took time and made preparations to be with us and present your own best effort.

Be assured that your efforts and patience are most appreciated.  All of us on the audition panel want to extend to you, in as personal a manner as this website permits, our own special thanks.  While obvious logistical constraints prevent our writing to you personally, we want you to know we gave your audition careful consideration.

Please know that many factors go into the final selection – and such factors have absolutely no bearing on your intrinsic worth as a person or your basic talent as a performer.  In fact, some factors that go into casting are simply beyond your (and our) control, regardless of the caliber of the audition: such factors as character types required by the script, and mundane matters such as age ranges needed, stage space, heights of certain performers, the mix of individuals needed for certain scenes, etc.

It has been an honor to have you participate in our audition process.  Our next auditions will be July 29, 2010 for “Little Women.”  We hope you will all consider auditioning again in the future.
