Auditions

Auditions for our May 2025 show will be held on Sunday, March 16th, 2025, from 12:30-3:30 at Thurber Center (91 Jefferson Avenue).  You will not need to be there the whole time. Auditions will be readings in groups of 1-3 people, depending on who is present and what scenes the directors want to see.

  • No specific appointments, resumes, or monologue prep necessary! Auditions will be cold reads from a few of the short plays that will be performed in the festival.

  • This Short Play Festival will have one performance on May 30 at 8 PM, and two performances on May 31 (one at 2 PM and one at 8 PM), and 2-3 days of tech rehearsals in the week leading up to the performances (May 25-29). All tech rehearsals and performances will be in the Shedd Theatre (549 Franklin Ave, Columbus, OH 43215). Each short play will have 4-6 rehearsals (per director discretion) at meeting places determined by the director (often these are library conference/meeting rooms).

  • If you can't make it to these auditions but would still like to throw your hat in the ring, email theatrereset@gmail.com a video of yourself performing a monologue of approximately one minute in length by 11:59 PM on Friday, March 14th. In this email, please also provide a list of your conflicts between March 20th and May 31st, 2025.
