Answer 1

Ok, what you should do is find a community theater. I live in a small town to and there is a community theater 15 minutes away from me and one 20 minutes away. Then what you do is just call them and ask when their next auditions are. Ask them what kinds of parts they are looking for. Cuz you wouldnt want to show up and audition for a play that has only eight year olds in it. Also, ask them what you will have to do for the audition. Sometimes you will have to sing a song. Sometimes, you will just have to read some lines, depending on weather or not its a musical. Also, sometimes for auditions for musicals you are asked to dance. They will put you in a group and teach you a really simple dance. Have fun and good luck.
