What to Prepare:
• Auditioners should bring 32 bars or about 2 minutes of sheet music from a musical theatre song that best showcases their vocal range and character. The sheet music should be in the correct key, clearly marked with any cuts, and neatly prepared for the accompanist.
• Please do not audition with songs from Guys and Dolls.
• Comfortable clothing and shoes for a short movement audition.
Video Auditions: We will accept video auditions. Videos must be submitted to

Rehearsals: Rehearsals will be at the Fon Du Lac Park Admin. Center. They will be primarily on weeknights, but we reserve the ability to set weekend rehearsals, if necessary. For our friends in Corn Stock’s production of the Wizard of Oz, we will accommodate your schedule. Rehearsals will not commence until after the Fourth of July holiday, the first rehearsal is set for July 8, 2025 (time to be determined). Again, we will accommodate anyone in the cast who is in the Wizard of Oz.
Why Audition?
This is more than an opportunity to perform—it’s a chance to be part of an amazing theater family, gain unforgettable experience, and help tell a story that has captivated audiences for generations.
Guys and Dolls
Guys and Dolls is a timeless Broadway musical that brims with charm, wit, and unforgettable melodies. Set in bustling 1950s New York City, it follows the lives of gamblers, showgirls, and innocent dreamers as they navigate love, luck, and high-stakes antics. From the romantic escapades of Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown to the comedic banter of Nathan Detroit and Miss Adelaide, this musical is a whirlwind of humor, heart, and dazzling show-stopping numbers.
Audiences have adored this masterpiece for decades, and now it’s your chance to be part of the magic on stage. Join us in bringing to life the hustle, the laughter, and the unforgettable tunes like "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat."
