SYNOPSIS:  

The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

 All roles at RUT are open to anyone in the community! No experience is necessary to audition. 


Here are a few tips to help you understand our audition process:


Each show has its own unique needs, which in turn creates an ever evolving audition experience. As a guide we list approximate age ranges and preferred/written sex of the characters (it is always in your best interest to audition if you feel you can offer something to a role). For non-musical auditions, all audition materials will be provided at the auditions.  For musical auditions, you will be required to prepare 16 bars of a song from a Broadway musical. Bring your sheet music to the audition, in the key in which you will be singing. 


Please check back periodically for audition opportunities!
