Installment 2: $150.00 balance due immediately when cast in the show. We will send an email with the cast list and a link to our payment page which will take you to Zeffy to pay the final balance. Payment in full is due within 48 hours of the cast list being posted. If you have not paid the remaining balance, we will re-cast the role.

REGISTRATION & SHOW POLICES:

Audition registration MUST be completed and paid by Thursday, December 4, 2025. After that date, audition registration will be closed.
As noted, your $50 registration fee will be applied to the $200.00 production fee if you are cast in the show.
If you are NOT cast in the show and participated in the audition process, you will receive a $50 refund.
Should the response to our open audition process be sufficient enough to negatively impact our production abilities, we reserve the right to close registration early in part or fully, based on our production needs.
We will not be able to cast you if you have to miss any MANDATORY rehearsals, or performance dates/times. Missing these dates and/or times may result in recasting your roll and there will be no refunds.

If you register and notify us via email that you will opt out of the audition, you will receive a registration refund, less a $20.00 cancellation fee. However, that email must be received one week before your audition date.
Any cancellations after the one-week cut-off or audition “no shows” will not be eligible for any refund.
If you are not cast in the show and participated in the audition process, you will receive a $50 refund.
If you audition and get cast in the show, but choose not to accept the roll or participate at anytime, you lose any and all payments that were made.
Once you are cast and final payment is received, there are no refunds.
