Audition
OCT is always looking to meet new talent!
***General Auditions for OCT's 2025 production of OUR TOWN are now open for registration, taking place January 11. Please complete the pre-audition survey linked here, and expect a call to arrange your audition time after submission. Digital auditions will currently remain open.***
Auditioners are asked to prepare a one-minute contemporary monologue, and a joke (to help us get to know you!).
----------------------
Artists of all identities, ethnicities, genders, ages and abilities are encouraged to audition. Most of each season’s roles are open to all adult actors. Additionally, some roles each season may call for actors of specific identities.
Actors may choose to audition in person or submit an audition video. Those who have previously appeared in one of OCT’s regular season productions need not audition. Following general auditions, callbacks are held on a show-by-show basis throughout summer and fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When are callbacks? OCT works to hold callbacks at least one month prior to the beginning of rehearsals for any given show; callbacks may be completed as early as the fall for the entirety of the production season. Callbacks are by invitation only, held on a per-show basis. Artists invited to callbacks will be notified of any precast role(s).
-
When are rehearsals? Rehearsals are generally Sunday-Thursday evenings, with the occasional weekend daytime rehearsal. Rehearsal schedules are determined on a per-show basis.
-
Does OCT work with Equity actors or non-local artists? OCT works to offer a limited number of AEA contracts through Guest Artist or Special Appearance agreements, as well as limited contracts for professional artists based outside the Eugene/Springfield area. Contact Producing Artistic Director Craig Willis with your interest and any questions: craig@octheatre.org.
We look forward to working with you!
