Casting Call: 2023 Community Show

The Lighthouse Festival Community Show is back!

Next April at the Lighthouse Theatre our community stars will have a chance to shine again with the Community Show’s return. This is an opportunity for you to be a part of the Lighthouse Festival magic, supported by our team of professional designers and crew members. It’s an incredible glimpse into what being a professional actor is like, starting with the audition process.

Auditions open on October 13th, from 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm for Clue The Musical. Anyone over the age of 18 can audition. Just call the box office at 519-583-2221 to book your spot!

Aspiring actors will not be asked to perform a monologue or sing a musical number at this audition. Instead, they will be invited to have a casual conversation with Lighthouse Festival Artistic Director, Derek Ritschel, about the character they would like to portray. Meet the characters for Clue The Musical below!
