Center Stage Productions

Center Stage Productions is hosting auditions for its upcoming production of The Prom, which will perform August 6th-9th. Tentatively, rehearsals will begin the week of Monday, June 1st and will take place three times a week to start. We are projecting those days will follow a Monday Wednesday Thursday schedule, but that cadence is subject to change based on cast availability, which will be determined when casting is complete.

If you are unable to make either of the scheduled audition days, or for any other audition inquiries, please email Patrick Murray at [email protected].

We are seeking a dynamic and diverse ensemble of teens/young adults and adults (ages 13 and up) for CSP’s production of The Prom. Center Stage Productions is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusivity in its work and encourages performers of all ethnicities, races, backgrounds, and gender expressions to audition. For the roles portrayed by adults, we have listed an approximation of the starting age we are considering for these roles, and though we will largely be considering actors from that age and up, all actors are encouraged to audition for what they feel suits them best.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
For our Wednesday, May 13th auditions, an accompanist will be provided. For Saturday, May 16th, we will be operating auditions with accompaniment tracks only. Please plan accordingly. Though you are permitted to use a track when attending the Wednesday, May 13th audition date, it is encouraged that you try to attend our Saturday, May 16th audition date if planning to use a track.

WHEN:
Wednesday, May 13th from 6:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.
Saturday, May 16th from 10:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.
Invited Dance and General Callbacks Monday May 18th 5:30 P.M. to 10:30 P.M. (Schedule Released Prior to Callbacks)

WHERE:
The Bruder Life Center at Neumann University
1 Neumann Dr Aston, PA 19014

WHAT TO PREPARE:
Please prepare 32 bars of a contemporary musical theater piece or pop/rock song. We just want to see something that you love to sing and makes you happy. Please bring sheet music (for Wednesday, May 13th as an accompanist will be provided or a prepared accompaniment track (for Saturday May 16th)).

MAINSTAGE 

THE PROM
August 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th

Director: Patrick Murray
Music Director: Vicki Coleman
Choreographer: Carli Fruchtl
Assistant Director: Jane Haracz

Center Stage Productions will be presenting THE PROM August 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, 2026. The final and largest production of our summer season, our Mainstage is an event our audiences look forward to every year.

We will be seeing all performers ages 13 and up for this larger-than-life production. We had an amazing turnout for our Showcase Workshop this summer, and though it is currently sold out, THE PROM is a perfect opportunity for younger performers audition for the opportunity to potentially join other young adults and adults on the Mainstage for this production.

THE PROM exemplifies everything that defines CSP, bringing together performers of all ages to create magic together while learning from and growing alongside one another all summer long. We could not be more excited to be presenting this piece, and we are looking forward to gathering an incredible community to tell this story.

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever. Now a major Netflix movie, The Prom continues to inspire and entertain with its blend of heart, humor, and show-stopping musical numbers that resonate with audiences of all ages.

We will be hosting auditions for THE PROM in May! Please check back soon for a casting breakdown, audition information and how to sign up for an audition slot!
