AUDITION
Community theater is a wonderful way to experience the magic of live performance. Whidbey Playhouse is truly a place where everyone belongs. A place where everyone is working together for one reason: to bring joy to audiences. What’s better than that?
We encourage you to audition for our upcoming productions. We know that stepping out of your comfort zone and in to the spotlight can be daunting, especially when you don't know what to fully expect. But, remember, it doesn't matter if you don’t have any experience — everyone is welcome. All ages. All skill levels.

Auditions – What You Need to Know
​
Please read this entire message carefully. The information below is important!
​
Thank you for your interest in auditioning for Little Shop of Horrors! This show is a fun mix of satire, blending science fiction, ‘B’ movies, musical comedy, and even a twist on the Faust legend. It’s a cult classic that’s both hilarious and heartfelt—even when things get wild! We’ll be performing the 2003 Broadway Revival version, featuring fresh musical arrangements.
About the Show
​
Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, a shy floral assistant who discovers a strange new plant he names “Audrey II,” after his coworker crush. This R&B-singing, foul-mouthed carnivorous plant promises Seymour fame and fortune—as long as he keeps feeding it blood. But soon, Seymour uncovers Audrey II’s alien origins and its plan for global domination!
