AUDITIONS ARE NOW CLOSED for the 2026-27 SEASON.

Casting is a rolling process - meaning if you hear someone has a callback or offer does not mean all casting or callbacks are complete. We thank you for your patience as we look over our biggest pool of submissions to date with so many talented applicants.

Each year we are blown away by all of the talent locally and nationally!

Thank you for your interest in working with our company!

If you have any questions or concerns please email dionysia@shortnorthstage.org.

As an SPT Tier 6 Equity theater we produce 7 musicals and occasional special performances in our season.

Other Items To Note:

Short North Stage creates shows in a historic Vaudeville theater that is over 100 years old. This old building can come with it’s quirks and it should be noted that you do have to use stairs and go outside to reach the backstage area. We are working to continue to make upgrades to this building that we lease when able.
