Performer Auditions

We're looking for performers aged 18+ to audition for The Playmill’s 2027 production of Forever Plaid. All positions are paid. All roles are open, with the exception of Sparky.

Preliminary auditions will be done virtually. For your submission, please prepare 30-60 seconds of a song in the style of the show. A backing track is preferred. Videos should be submitted via YouTube link above.

Callbacks will be held in person by invitation only on October 19th in Rigby, ID.

Rehearsals will be held 3-4 nights a week in Rigby, ID from December 1-15 and January 1-22. Plan on an all-day rehearsal on January 9. From January 23-30, extended rehearsals will be held at the theatre in Island Park, Idaho.

Performances will run Fridays (7 PM) and Saturdays (4 PM and 7 PM) in February.

Note: We are also seeking a pianist and upright bassist. For musician submissions, please email tanner@playmill.com to express interest.

Technical Applications

We are also looking for the following technical positions:

  • Stage manager

  • Technicians

  • House manager

Stipends are available for all of these positions. Please contact tanner@playmill.com with questions and to express interest.

  • 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 Jack in Disney’s Newsies.

  • 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.

  • Sure! We do our best to accommodate, but just know that due to casting needs, we may not be able to accommodate all conflict requests. Non-negotiable conflicts may affect your casting ability.

  • For our 2026 season, we’ll be hiring a box office manager, a stage manager and assistant stage manager, and a lighting/sound technician. See above for more specifications or to apply.

  • Yes! There will be children in each production this summer.

  • Pay between performing and technical positions varies greatly and generally starts at a few thousand dollars for the summer paid out bi-weekly throughout the season.
