After the movement portions, some will be released and auditioners will cold-read sections of the script for the Acting callbacks, focusing on leads. Sections of the script will be provided at the audition, not before.
DAY 3 : THURSDAY Singing Callbacks. Any auditioner that we would like to hear sing again will be asked to attend this last day of auditions. Please prepare the additional material provided, as well as the initial selections. You may not be asked to sing all of it or any at all, but it’s good to be prepared.

Our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was a HUGE success! We sold out 4 of our 7 public performances, came very close the other two evenining performances, and had the largest Saturday Matinee audience ever. Thank you to all attendees (and those that came multiple times).
Our two Wednesday school performances for the Athey Creek 8th grade were also wonderful – such an attentive audience of students. Here’s hoping we see many of those students again…in the classroom, in the audience, and in performances! Thank you to the ACMS teachers and the admin at both schools for making it possible.
A great big thank you to Willamette Falls Media Center, and their Manager, Melody, who donated her time to film our Saturday matinee. And to Greg Hitesman for facilitating the project. DVDs and BluRays of the performance will be available in approx. 4 weeks. Look here for more details in the near future if you’d like to purchase a copy. This is a special opportunity because there are no rights or royalties for Shakespeare plays. We don’t usually film productions, so don’t miss the chance to purchase this video and support WFMC and WLHS THEATRE.
Thank you again for supporting WLHS THEATRE….we’ll see you at the next show!
Tonight’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is SOLD OUT. Thanks to all who were able to join us, and we look forward to seeing you at our next production.
Tickets for West Linn Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will go on sale starting 10/20, two weeks before opening night. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students. Purchase them ahead of time, as seats are limited in the Black Box Theater and this show will (hopefully!) sell out. Buy tickets online here on our website or at the Box Office in the Performing Arts Building.
