Upcoming Auditions
Auditions June 8 & 9
Lincoln Community Playhouse holds auditions for Dear Evan Hansen on June 8 and 9 at the Playhouse, 2500 S. 56th Street. Interested actors should schedule an audition time below. There are eight roles available and actors must be at least 16 years old by June 15, 2026, to audition. Auditionees ages 16-18 must have parental permission. Performances are August 14-16, 21-23, and 28-30.
Actors should bring a prepared vocal solo of 32 bars from a contemporary musical (not Dear Evan Hansen) or a pop music selection. Solos should be songs that showcase acting interpretation as well as music skills. Bring sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. No a capella solos. Video auditions will be accepted by contacting Larisa at patronservices@lincolnplayhouse for details. Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, June 10. Attendance at callbacks is highly advised.
Dear Evan Hansen will be directed by Emma Jorgenson with music direction by Bryson Cole, scenic design by Parker Rogers, technical direction by Jeff Maldavs, costume design by Maralee Maldavs, lighting design by Erica Lauren Maholmes, and sound design by Fernando Dominguez.
With a book by Steven Levenson and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Dear Evan Hansen is the story of seventeen-year-old, Evan Hansen, who has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begin to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for. Please note this show sensitively addresses themes of mental health and suicide.

How To Succeed in Business...SR
Lincoln Community Playhouse is proud to be one of the three pilot productions of a new Broadway Sr. show, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying Sr.
Auditions will be held August 4 and 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with callbacks on August 6. Actors, age 55 and older, should bring a short song (around 90 seconds) and an accompanist will be provided. There will also be readings from the script. Many roles are available.
Rehearsals will be held Tuesday through Thursday, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Performances are September 19 and 20, both at 2:00 pm. Actors will be able to use scripts during the performance.
How to Succeed in Business Without Trying Sr. is an abridged version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical comedy with book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. The show is about the rise of window washer, J. Pierpont Finch, to chairman of the board and is a hysterical lampoon of the business world.
Morrie Enders will direct with Shauna Shaefer as music director. Enders noted, "Lincoln Community Playhouse was instrumental in the creation of Broadway Sr. with Music Theatre International and directing this pilot production is a fitting conclusion to my tenure as Executive Director."
Lincoln Community Playhouse is supported by 10/11 Show You Care and KFOR.
