Auditions
Upcoming Auditions
Performance is at the heart of the programs of Music, Theatre and Dance — and sometimes even beyond. Our students in these programs have opportunities to perform with professionals in and outside of the Corcoran to further expand experiences. From roles on-stage and off, you have the chance to share performances and stories with audiences around campus.
All GW students are invited to take dance, music and theatre classes and audition for music ensembles, plays and performances. Check out dates and more information about auditions.
Performance is a key area of study in our Bachelor of Arts in Theatre program. However, many students at GW, both enrolled in the program and not, find opportunities to participate and perform for audiences across campus.

THEATRE
CASTING CALL!
Senior Honors Thesis
Calling all actors! Senior theatre major Charlotte Kim is looking for actors to perform in a staged reading of her original play, Young/Adult. Performances will take place April 26 & 27, 2025 (with scripts in hand, so no memorization necessary!). No need to prepare anything for the audition—sides will be provided!
Who: All GW students
What: Young/Adult a New Play by Charlotte Kim
Synopsis: The play follows two college-aged friends who unexpectedly pass into the afterlife and find themselves trapped in a strange waiting room, with a dead stranger. Daunting questions about youth, dreams, and the purpose of life loom large as the two friends reckon with their untimely deaths and struggle to sort out what comes next.
Auditions will be held after Winter Break, with dates and locations yet to be determined. For more information contact Charlotte Kim (charlotte_kimgwu [dot] edu (charlotte_kim[at]gwu[dot]edu)).
