• Audition for The Hudson Players

     

  • The Hudson Players is Truly a Community Theater

    We are a true community theater. Thus all our shows feature volunteer actors and stage personnel. All roles in our productions are always open to auditioners, with no restrictions. For non-musicals, scripts are usually available for perusal at the Hudson Library at least two weeks prior. Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script. For musicals, auditioners are asked to have a song prepared and to bring along appropriate sheet music for the accompanist. Musical auditioners will also be asked to read from the script, and in many cases will be shown a brief movement exercise. Those interested in working backstage, on sets, lights, etc, are encouraged to come to auditions as well and fill out a form letting the producer know their areas of interest. All auditions are held at the Barlow Community Center on Oviatt St in Hudson, typically at 7pm on Sunday and Monday evenings.

    Feel free to complete and print out the below audition form to bring with you to auditions.

    Morning's at Seven

    Morning's at Seven is a warm, witty comedy set in a small Midwestern town, where four sisters—and the husbands and neighbors who orbit them—navigate a day that quietly turns their comfortable routines upside down.

    When a long-delayed engagement finally moves forward, it sparks a ripple effect of surprises, long-buried dreams, and unexpected courage. Full of rich, character-driven moments, the play offers actors the chance to explore humor, heart, and the complexities of family bonds.

    Charming, nostalgic, and deeply human, Morning’s at Seven is a celebration of change at any age—and a joy to bring to life on stage.

    Performance dates: February 5,6,12,13,14*,19,20,21*,26,27, 2027
