Auditions are held on a rolling basis as full productions are announced. Please check the “Work With Us” tab for any upcoming auditions.

Memorization is not required, but preparation is encouraged.

You need only attend one audition day - attending multiple will not invite favoritism.

Unless otherwise specified, all roles in any production are open.

Per WIGB bylaws:

“Roles in any production may be cast without audition, also known as “pre-casted roles.” If pre-casting, any audition information must clearly state which role(s) has / have already been cast and the name(s) of the individual(s) cast in said role(s).”

Please see current audition listings for any requested preparation.

Callbacks are not held for all auditions - please see current audition listings for any callback information.

If held, callbacks are invite only - please only plan to attend if you are called for.

Please let the production team know that you cannot attend callbacks - we will attempt to accommodate accordingly.

Please be patient - after auditions, Why’s It Gotta Be? Theater Group will contact all who auditioned with a casting decision via phone or email as soon as possible.

Per WIGB bylaws:

No cast or production team member should be asked to pay to participate in any Why's It Gotta Be? Theater Group rehearsals, productions, or events by anyone on the production team or Why's It Gotta Be? Theater Group’s Board of Directors.”

Per WIGB-3 (Production and Event Safety, Understanding, and Expectations):

“One of WIGB’s long-term goals is to be able to safely provide stipends to all WIGB designated cast, production team members, and event staff. Unless specified otherwise, no stipends will be available for any WIGB designated cast, production team members, or event staff - all revenue from events and performances will go toward funding future WIGB events, performances, and operations; and toward working toward our long-term goal of providing stipends to individuals.”

Why’s It Gotta Be? Theater Group is always looking to add people to our pool of talented artists, creators, and movers to work with us on any aspects of our productions and events.
