FALL & WINTER WITH OVATIONS UPSTAGE ADULT PRODUCTIONS

 At OVATIONS we believe in the transformative power of art and the importance of providing a platform where performers can continue to evolve as artists and community members!

At OVATIONS, we believe in the power of art to drive change—and we take that responsibility seriously.

We work to center our seasons around stories that reflect lived experiences and amplify voices too often pushed to the margins. We’re uplifting stories by and about women, queer individuals, people of color, survivors, and others whose narratives deserve to be heard. Our aim is not only to welcome like-minded artists into our space, but to present work that sparks dialogue, builds community, and inspires meaningful action.

We hope these productions ignite conversation, cultivate empathy, and move us all closer to a more just and compassionate world.

Auditions, rehearsals and performances will be held at our space The Harriet located at 16021 Industrial Drive, Bay 7 Gaithersburg, MD 20877. All auditions will begin at 7:00pm.

If you’re unable to attend the in-person auditions, you may submit a video audition by 12pm the day of the audition. When submitting, please use the subject line “UPSTAGE 26 SUBMISSION” Be sure to provide an open (shareable) link that all production members can access, or attach the video file directly to your email. Please also include in the body of the email what show(s) you are submitting for. 

An email will be sent on the day of auditions with instructions on how to register for an audition slot to all who’ve completed the online registration.

Please prepare a full song from any Broadway Rock Musical. Everyone will initially be asked to sing 16–32 bars, and we may request to hear your full selection afterward. Choose a piece that showcases both your vocal range and acting ability.

Bring sheet music in the correct key, clearly marked with start and end points, any cuts, and all tempo or dynamic changes.

Please also bring a current headshot and resume.

An accompanist will be provided. A cappella auditions will not be accepted.

Callbacks will be by invitation only.
