Yes, but housing will only be provided for cast members, so both members of the married couple would need to be hired or else you’d need to find your own housing in order to stay together. Otherwise, the married cast member would be provided housing or could commute.

All roles are open with the exception of Alice, Margo, and Mama and Papa Murphy in Bright Star.

Auditions will be open December 15 - January 15. After this time, in-person callback invitations will be extended. Those invited can choose from two callback dates, one in Salt Lake City, UT and one in Rigby, ID. Attendees will be sent music to learn prior to callbacks. At callbacks, performers will have a chance to sing, dance, and possibly read sides. Throughout this process, you may be contacted for an interview over Zoom or in person at callbacks.
Casting will begin after our second callback date. Those cast will be notified via phone call. Due to the sheer volume of applicants, we will only be able to reach out to those cast. When casting is finalized, a post will be made on social media.
We understand there are many ways you could spend your summer and we are honored you’re considering spending it with us! Throughout the process, if you need an update to make a decision about other performing opportunities, feel free to reach out and we will do our best to provide you with an update.
