Are you an Atlanta-area attorney who likes to sing? Dance? Act? Whether you’re a triple threat who can do it all, or just someone who loves live theater and wants to make new friends and have some fun, there’s a place for you in the cast of the Bard Show. The only requirement is that you be a lawyer (which, candidly, is rather infrequently a prerequisite at musical theater auditions).
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR AUDITIONS
Auditions will be held between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm on the evenings of Tuesday July 14, Wednesday July 15, and Thursday July 16. Auditionees can sign up for one of three hour-long blocks each night (6:30, 7:30, or 8:30), and should be prepared to stay a full hour. Auditions will be conducted at OnStage Atlanta, located at 3041 North Decatur Road, Scottdale, Georgia, 30079.
Basic Guidelines for Auditions:
(1) If you are interested in being considered for a more prominent singing role, come prepared to sing for 30-60 seconds to an instrumental track of your choosing (we will have a Bluetooth speaker to play your MP3 or YouTube audio; no acapella singing). We also plan to send out a short list of songs you can choose from, but you are not limited to our list.
(2) Everyone will be asked to sing at least a few bars from one of a handful of songs (e.g., Happy Birthday), as well as to demonstrate their vocal range;
(3) Everyone will learn a short dance routine, so come dressed in something comfortable that you can move in.
Rehearsals will be in Buckhead. They will start after Labor Day, Mondays through Thursdays, and continuing there until October 29. Cast members will only need to attend rehearsals on nights when their scenes or songs are being worked, so at auditions, please be prepared to provide your conflicts as best you can so that we can schedule rehearsals to accommodate everyone.
The show itself (as well as the final week of rehearsals) will be at the Porter Sanford Performing Arts Center in DeKalb County near Candler Road and I-20. There will be three performances, two evenings and an afternoon matinee, on Friday and Saturday, November 6-7, 2026.
And if you want to join in on the fun, but public performance isn’t your thing, you can help too! Any good theater production depends on having a good crew, both backstage during the show as well as before and after. We’ll need folks to manage props, move set pieces, do makeup, and more. If you like building things, we’ll need people to help construct the set, and if you like wrecking things, we’ll need people to help take it down. And if you just want to be friendly and look good in cocktail attire, then ushering or working the bar (of the lower-case-b variety) might be your calling. If any of those appeal to you, then please fill out this form to let us know how you’d like to help:
