Placer Rep Reveals 2024-2025 Season and Auditions

Open submissions are now being accepted for auditions to fill roles in the 2024-2025 Placer Repertory Theater main season, themed “Dark Ambitions,” which includes Shakespeare’s MacBeth in Fall 2024, Dion Boucicault’s melodrama The Corsican Brothers or The Fatal Duel in February 2025 and Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet in Spring 2025.

Placer Repertory Theater’s 2024-2025 main season shows will perform in Rocklin, California, then will tour to additional venues and will be available for regional bookings. Performers interested in participating in the main season shows may submit an email cover letter with resume, headshot and URL to audition video or digital recording of a prior performance to CASTING@PlacerRep.org. Early career to seasoned performers are encouraged to apply. Nonunion and union performers may apply. Performers are paid for rehearsals and performances. All ethnicities and gender identities are welcomed and encouraged to submit.

Prior seasons’ themes included ‘Seeing Red’ and ‘The Two-Sided Coin of Desire & Fear,’ which led into 2024-2025. “What seemed an appropriate theme for our times is “Dark Ambitions,” said Producing Artistic Director Teresa Stirling Forsyth. “No matter what side you are on regarding any conflict, the situation is ripe for one or both factions to ‘take things too far,’ which inevitably leads to damage. This season’s plays were selected because they represented the pursuit of an ambition at all costs.

• MacBeth. A Shakespeare play in which one man’s ambition requires the death of others. This production, MacBeth a la Ubu, is enhanced by the casting of characters from Alfred Jarry’s King Ubu to play MacBeth and Lady MacBeth.
• The Corsican Brothers or The Fatal Duel. Dion Boucicault’s melodrama in which two feuding houses in Corsica attempt to wipe each other out (Capulets and Montagues, Hatfields and McCoys, current conflicts in our country and around the world). As with 2023’s Frankenstein, Placer Rep is adapting this melodrama to be interactive and engaging!
• A Study in Scarlet. The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery that features conflict regarding opposing spirituality, culture, wills and goals (SPRING)
