AUDITIONS
CASTING
Currently all shows are fully cast and in production. The next auditions will be held in late January for our May 2025 Musical. We will be auditioning for kids and adults and full details will be posted in early 2025. Watch this space or follow us on social @stagedinkuwait to be the first to hear about the next auditions.
PRODUCTION CREW
In a community theatre production, there are a wide variety of roles that bring a show to life beyond the actors on stage. From the director who oversees the creative vision, to the stage manager who ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, every job is crucial to a successful performance. Key teams include volunteers in costume design, set design, and prop making, who each contribute their skills to creating the world of the play. Closer to technical / performance week we hand over to the lighting and sound technicians, to make the magic happen on ‘the night’.
All our departments are run by volunteers and whether you have prior experience, or just a passion to get involved, we’d love to meet you. Get in touch below.
CAST AUDITIONS
All roles are open for audition (character breakdowns below) as well as places for a singing/dancing ensemble. Auditions will take place at our rehearsal studio in Sabah Al Salem (Location Link) on the following days:

AUDITION FORMAT
- Auditionees should arrive for a prompt start at the beginning of the session for an introduction to the show.
- You will be asked to complete an audition form detailing your intentions and informing us if you wish to audition for a principal character or an ensemble role.
- As a group, all auditionees will be taught a short section of a vocal track and a movement/dance routine. No prior dance experience or training is necessary. Just bring confidence!
- Auditionees wishing to audition for principal character roles will be asked to sing up to one minute of a fully memorized song that showcases their voice. (Please download a backing track to sing with.) There are potential songs for all Principal characters.
- In addition to your prepared song, principal auditionees may be given a few vocal drills to determine vocal range and harmonizing skills.
- After vocal and dance, auditionees will be asked to look at scenes from the script, in duos or groups and auditioned from these sides. (Sides are not available ahead of time.)
ENSEMBLE / CHORUS / KIDS
ENSEMBLE ADULTS: (18+) Palace Staff, other background characters.
For adults keen to join the Ensemble you should still attend one of the advertised Audition dates but will not need to read for a character. A movement and Vocal audition will still be required as places in the Ensemble are limited.
ENSEMBLE KIDS:
Kids who are enrolled in SIK KIDS Classes will be invited to audition for our kids’ chorus of woodland creatures. Parts for some older kids (enrolled in our SIK KIDS classes), will also be discussed as the kids’ audition date get closer. Please note: auditions advertised above (September 20th and 22nd) are for adults only. Kids auditions will be announced separately through our drama classes.
