Thank you for your interest in Auditioning with TAC at the Lake!

Auditions are January 2nd or 3rd, 2024. No need to sign up - just show up either night at 6:00pm

This is a cold-read audition, so nothing to prepare for. Come ready to read from the script (assistance can be provided).

Audition forms are here: Audition Forms. Please complete it before your audition.

Rehearsal Schedule: January 4-February 16

Usually Monday-Friday 6:00 pm-8:00 pm. Not every actor will be needed each night.

Show Dates: February 16-18 and 22-25 2024

A FREE audition class will be held December 30, 2023 from 11am -12 Noon. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the audition process and get comfortable with a cold read. No sign-up necessary for the class, just show up!

This is an all ages show with lots of opportunities for young kids, teens and young adults!

The audition will be a cold read, so nothing to prepare. If you are comfortable, you can also prepare a short monologue - original or borrowed! The prepared monologue is a great opportunity for teens to show off their acting chops.
Please fill out the audition form in advance and bring it with you to the theater. We will have some hard copies available if needed. We will also ask that only the actors auditioning enter the theater. Parents are asked to remain in their car or in the lobby (Max of 8 parents in Lobby).

If you are cast, you will be invited to the parent meeting on Wednesday, January 4th at 6pm.

Remember! Casting is subjective and completely based on someone else’s opinion. Sometimes casting decisions are based on age, looks, height, or how you look next to other cast members. You will not get cast in every role you want and sometimes you won’t get cast at all. If you are not cast in this show, you should still celebrate the fact that you gave it your best shot.

About Mousetrap

The world's longest-running play!

After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
