Auditions at Contra Costa Civic Theatre
CCCT is always looking for people interested in any aspect of Community Theatre. Never acted before? Not a problem. Many of our productions need roles with just a few lines to learn. It's easier than you might think, and our auditions are open to everyone.

To Audition

Please bring headshots and resumes if you have them. For all auditions, unless noted, come prepared with a 1-minute monologue, and be ready to read from the script. For musical auditions, an accompanist will be provided; please bring sheet music in your key, and be prepared to dance.
We are a non-profit, community theatre so all roles at CCCT are non-pay, non-AEA. Detailed information on roles and requirements will be posted to our website before the audition dates for each upcoming show.

Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" is brought to musical life in Sam and Bella Spewack's "Kiss Me Kate" with music and lyrics by the incomparable Cole Porter.
Fred Graham, director and actor extraordinaire, has invited his fiery ex-wife, the diva Lilli Vanessi to join him in a production of "Kiss Me Kate" playing Katherine to his Petruchio. His wandering eye and her explosive temper (along with two mobsters on Fred's tail) create conflict and comedy only surpassed by Cole Porter's wonderful score.
A play-within-a-play, everyone is affected by the events off-stage and on-stage. With a full cast of characters, songs like "Another Op'nin', Another Show" and "Too Darn Hot," and the snappy, updated 1999 version of the play, this is American Musical Theatre at its best.
