A. Even though the UNC Pauper Players are an officially recognized UNC Chapel Hill Student organization, we encourage anyone interested in auditioning. We strive to cast our productions with the best talent that comes to us from the entire Chapel Hill Community. Therefore, you do not have to be a student of the University of North Carolina to particpate in our productions!

A. Although the specific format of our auditions changes from production to production, you can expect to have to prepare about 2 minutes of a song of your choosing. We usually do not provide an accompanist, so come prepared to perform your selection a' capella. We will also ask you to sing scales with an accompanist. Although monologoues or cold readings are not a normal part of our audition process, they may be required by the director of the current production. If this is the case, specific information will always be listed under the main audition page for each production. Also, some productions will require a dance audition. If this is the case for the current production, information will be listed under the main audition page.

A. You will be asked to sign up for a 5-10 minute time slot. We do our best to adhere to this schedule. Pauper Players realizes that your time is valuable and we will do our best to streamline the process as much as possible.

A. We ask that you sign-up for a time slot in the Pauper Players folder located in the lobby of the newly renovated Frank Porter Graham Student Union. If it is not possible for you to gain access to this folder, please do not hesitate to contact pauperinfo@gmail.com with a block of time you would be available to audition. We will get in contact with you to schedule a specific time for your audition.

A. Pauper Players auditions are closed to everyone except the Director, Assistant Director, Music Director and Choreographer for a specific production.

A. Depending on the specific production, this will change. We ask that you bring a completed audition information form with you that includes all rehearsal conflicts that you know of at the time of the audition. Come dressed to move if a dance audition is required. You do not need to include a head shot or a resume. All the information we need from you will be asked on the audition form.

A. If a call back is needed, it will be scheduled for the evening after main auditions are completed. The format and requirements of call-backs will change depending on a specific director's taste. This information will be distributed as needed.

A. Pauper Players productions rehearse Sunday thru Thursday from 7-11pm. The time commitment involved depends on the size of the role you receive in the production and it obviously increases as the performance dates of the show grow closer! Most, if not all, rehearsals will fall within the times stated above.
