AUDITION FOR A BUNCH OF SHOWS IN FIVE MINUTES >>>

Actors experienced and aspiring alike can audition with efficiency at Olympia Audition League's general auditions set for Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31. The third annual auditions are your chance to try out for roles with five theater companies - all in only five minutes.

Making an appointment in advance is recommended, as is arriving with a prepared monologue or two. If you want to be considered for a musical, you'll need to bring sheet music, too.

Participating theater companies are Olympia Family Theater, Prodigal Sun Productions, Theater Artists Olympia and - new this time around - Harlequin Productions and Animal Fire Theater.

The auditions happen 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days in the Black Box at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts, 512 Washington St. S.E., Olympia.
