Auditions for Playhouse 2000 shows are roughly 8-12 weeks prior to the opening weekend of the show. Everyone is invited to audition, but we do our best to work very professionally. Actors should expect approximately 6 weeks of rehearsals. A full rehearsal schedule is typically available after auditions. Auditioners for each show are only expected to attend one audition session unless specially informed about call-backs.
Auditions
The Charitable Sisterhood of the Second Trinity Victory Church, June 14-30, Auditions April 28 at 2:30 pm and April 29 at 6:30 pm
Director Jesirae Kesler is looking to cast 5 funny women and 1 – 2 men for Bo Wilson’s surprisingly intriguing and poignant piece, The Charitable Sisterhood of the Second Trinity Victory Church. In this new comedy, the ladies of The Charitable Sisterhood have gathered to organize a benefit for homeless Guatemalans, but they turn up a much more urgent problem right here at home. In the tradition of comedies like “Steel Magnolias” and “Crimes of the Heart,” the women of the Sisterhood are fun, familiar and fresh.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script – no preparation necessary! Actresses and actors of ALL AGES are encouraged to audition!

Volunteer Behind the Scenes
Playhouse 2000 has a vibrant and very active volunteer team. Volunteers are the backbone of the theater & can never be thanked enough for all of their hard work and time spent helping to make Playhouse 2000 sensational year after year. There are many opportunities to volunteer for the theater.
Ushering
We have a wonderful team of volunteer ushers! Call the Playhouse office to see when you can usher for a Playhouse 2000 or Cailloux Theater production! Contact Susan at (830) 896-9393 ext. 302 or susan@caillouxtheater.com to get on the volunteer usher list.
Concessions
Playhouse 2000 now manages concessions during all Playhouse shows and many other performances at the Cailloux Theater. Volunteer ushers will be asked to assist with concessions during intermission.
Set Design and Construction
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are the volunteer work days for the Cailloux. This includes building and painting scenery, hanging lights, pulling and making props, pulling and/or creating costumes, etc. Call Nick at (830) 896-9393 ext. 305 or nick@caillouxtheater.com for more information.
Office Work
We also occasionally call on volunteers for help with folding programs, stuffing envelopes, and preparing mailers. We also prepare for the nightly productions. This is a great day for someone to volunteer who maybe just had surgery or isn’t able to stand for very long. Contact Amy at (830) 896-9393 ext. 304 or amy@playhouse2000.com to get on the volunteer contact list.
