UPCOMING AUDITIONS
South Carolina Children’s Theatre 2024-2025 Season Auditions
Each year, SCCT holds two general auditions. One is in the spring after the upcoming season is announced, and another is in the early fall when the new season is underway.
Actors only need to attend one of these general auditions. Callbacks for each show occur closer to when those specific shows begin rehearsals. After you audition, you will be notified if you are called back for specific shows.
Season Announcement:
We will announce the SCCT 2024-2025 Season on April 4, 2024. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for the reveal!
Audition Dates:
Though we are holding TWO general audition dates for your convenience, you only need to attend ONE:
- First General Audition: Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 1:15 pm to 8:00 pm. Please click here to schedule your audition appointment.
- Second General Audition: We will announce this date after the summer break.
You only need to attend one of these general auditions to be considered for any/all shows in the season. We’re holding two generals because it gives everyone two different audition options based on your availability. No matter which audition date you attend, you will be considered for any/all shows in the season that have not yet had callbacks (dates will be published on the website).
Audition Appointments:
