Auditions are open to anyone and everyone.
The director of the show has the final decision on casting the actor that they feel is best for the role. However, whenever legally required to do so by our performance agreement we will cast within the limitations set by the playwright (age, gender, weight, race, etc.).
If cast, you will be required to become a member of Monroe Community Players. Memberships start at $20 and may be purchased HERE. Membership is valid from July 1- June 30. There is also a $10 participation fee for each production you are cast in to assist in defraying the costs of production.
Monroe Community Players maintains a policy of open casting at all auditions. This means that you will be auditioning in front of a group of others who are auditioning and may be asked to perform along with them.
Audition Dates: May 20 and 21 @ 6:00 PM
Location: MCP Studio Theater at The Mall of Monroe (2121 N. Monroe St, Suite 400)
Show Dates:
July 18 & 19, 2025 @ 7:00 PM

Almost, Maine is an ensemble play about 9 different couples in various stages of falling in or out of love. In the original production, the nine couples were played by two female and two male actors. The number of actors in this production will not be determined until after auditions. We anticipate that we will cast between 12 and 19 actors and that actors may play multiple roles, depending on audition turn out. The monologues selected for auditions are representative of the characters in Almost, Maine.
Cast: Variable (see below). We are looking for talent of all ages, sizes, ethnicities, and identities.
