Anyone out there from the DC area also dabble in Musical theater? I just moved to the area and I'm having trouble figuring out where the auditions are. And which companies are worth auditioning for. Suggestions?

You'll want to join The Actors' Center (www.actorscenter.org) For about $40 a year, you can search their website which lists all of the paid and non-paid theater and film auditions in the area. When you're a member, you can participate in their lottery auditions (similar to UPTAs or SETCs) where you can audition for many local companies at once. They also do all sorts of workshops for actors. I think you'll be glad you joined.

I don't know how complete it is, but there is a lot here, and it's searchable several different ways, which I like.

Not as up to date as it should be, and you have to go company by company to find out which are doing musicals. But at least provides links to many of the greater Washington area theatre company web pages.

Also be sure to get the Washington Post every Friday - in the Weekend section's Guide to the Lively Arts there are usually audition notices. Only in the print edition, however - you won't find them duplicated in the online edition.
