Have you ever imagined yourself on stage?

Here are just A few words about auditioning. Roles in Mainstage and Stage II (Our Black Box Theatre) productions change based upon the play. Be sure to get on the list for our audition notices. Roles in musicals require the ability to sing and dance ... as you might expect. Roles in our annual Melodrama require a strong sense of comedy, big voices and a strong stage presence are a plus. but if you are funny ... that usually gives you extra notice. Improvization is always welcome in Melodramas and ther might be some dancing required for some roles. If you audition for a role in our summer Shakespeare Festival ... you might want to have some semblance of a British accent in your repertoire. ShowOff!, our annual Playwriting Festival, is a great place to get introduced to acting at the Playhouse. Each year we produce 7 ten minute plays with 7 different directors. These plays range from farcical comedies to some very touching dramas. We also have readers theatre that starts off our ShowOff! performances. Each year brings a new and unique selection of plays and directors in both Showoff!s and out other performances so be sure to audition often.

All actors who appear on our stages are volunteers, giving their time and talent to ensure top-quality theatre experiences for South County's play-going public. The Camino Real Playhouse offers a wealth of opportunity for creativity and growth, guided by our professional staff.

The Playhouse encourages newcomers and takes pride in the fact that almost every production marks the debut of at least one actor at Camino Real Playhouse. The Camino Real Playhouse is becoming South Orange County's destination for whimsical, gripping and compelling performances. When you audition ... you will be reading from script excerpts. If there is singing, you will be told what to bring in way of a musical selection. If you have a stage biopgraphy and a headshot, be sure to bring those too.

Volunteers are also encouraged to participate in every area of production. Basic instruction and guidance is offered to any individual with the desire to help.
