Performing in a show at the Waterville Opera House requires a serious time commitment. Performers should be prepared for 3-4 rehearsals per week (usually weekday evenings and weekend afternoons). Tech Week will include daily rehearsals on the Sunday-Thursday preceding the first performance. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be published once the cast has been finalized. Rehearsals will take place at Studio 1902 in the Paul J. Schupf Art Center (93 Main St, Waterville).

Depending on the show, there may be a specific audition time for children only. All parents will be required to wait outside of the audition space as part of the audition is demonstrating to the production team that a child can take direction without a parent present.

Waterville Opera House performers are required to provide their own undergarments, shoes, and basic hair and makeup products.

Each performer receives 2 complimentary tickets to the production. Performers should contact the Ed Harris Box Office to reserve their complimentary tickets.
