AUDITIONS JUNE 15 and 22, 2026 Click here to schedule your audition. Full details at New Line Theatre will hold open auditions on two Monday nights, June 15 and 22, 2026, for the company’s 35th season of adult, alternative musical theatre, including the American premiere of ZM (zombie musical), the two-night concert event HEROES & VILLAINS, the Gershwin’s razor-sharp comedy OF THEE I SING, and the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical HAIR. All four shows require strong fearless actors with strong singing voices. Chris Moore will direct Heroes & Villains, and Scott Miller and Chris Moore will direct the three mainstage shows. New Line is always looking for casts that are diverse in terms of race, body type, age, etc., people who are intelligent, fun, fearless, singing actors. We are very eager to cast actors of color, and we are open to cross-gender casting. We do not cast anyone under 17. Auditions will be held by appointment at the Marcelle Theater, 3310 Samuel Shepard Drive (63103), just three blocks east of Grand in the Grand Center Arts District. You can sign up to audition here. Performers should prepare a contemporary theatre song, in rock or pop style (no R&H, please), with printed piano music for our pianist (no karaoke tracks and no a cappella). We do not accept video auditions. Performers may be asked to sing from the score. There may be a dance audition. New Line is a non-union professional theatre company. Performers will share a guaranteed 10% of box office receipts, with a minimum of $100 per actor for the run. THE SHOWS ZM will run twelve performances over four weeks at the Marcelle Theater, Oct. 1-24, 2026. All roles are open. You can find the character breakdowns and vocal ranges here.
