This season marks our long awaited return to Ruth Eckerd Hall’s Murray Theatre! We will be looking to cast two shows and all roles are currently open. All performers will be given a Letter of Agreement and compensated by The Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts at Ruth Eckerd Hall. If cast, you agree to undergo a background and drug screening to be successfully employed.
Audition Form
We will be conducting group auditions. Don’t worry, the Hat Trick audition process is fairly laid back. Each group will consist of up to 8 people that have been assigned to a particular time slot. All of the audition groups will be going through the same activities. Please come dressed to move. We advise against wearing things such as jeans, skirts, heels or flip flops. We will begin with introductions and a group warm-up. After that, we will move on to the monologues. Please prepare a 1-minute monologue from any genre. We will be cutting people off at the 1-minute mark to give everyone in the group their turn. We may ask you to play with your monologue. After the monologues, you may be asked to read selections from the plays.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for your time slot. Please bring a resume to the audition. Physical copies of your headshots are welcomed, but not required. If you have headshots that you would like to share with us, feel free to bring one or email a copy to us at Audition@HatTrickTheatre.com. Be prepared to list any scheduling conflicts that you may have during the rehearsal process. Hat Trick rehearsals generally begin 5 to 6 weeks before the opening performance of each show. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any conflicts with the performance dates if you want to perform on stage. We may still be able to use help behind the scenes if you have performance conflicts. Please let us know if you are interested in being a part of Hat Trick in ways other than performing.
Auditions will be held at the Murray Theatre at Ruth Eckard Hall. The address is 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, FL 33759.

Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away.
