We are excited to announce open auditions for our upcoming dinner production of "One Night Only", inspired by Dreamgirls!

About the Show:

Set in the golden era of soul and rhythm and blues, our production follows the journey of a talented Black female singing trio as they rise from local talent shows to national stardom. Echoing the spirit and style of the 1960s and ’70s music industry, this story explores themes of ambition, sisterhood, heartbreak, and the price of fame. With show-stopping moments, this show pays homage to the legendary girl groups and the transformative sounds of the Motown era.

Who We're Looking For:

We welcome performers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned actor or stepping into the spotlight for the first time, we encourage you to audition and share your talent with us.

Audition Information:

• When: Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 2:30pm (Callbacks are tentatively scheduled for May 31st.)
• Where: State Theater 222 State St McComb, MS 39648

Preparation:

Come ready to sing your heart out! Auditionees may perform a short song (16–32 bars) from a musical of their choice using a karaoke track. We’ll have an audio system setup on-site, or you may bring your own track. You may also choose a karaoke track from our on-site list.

Also prepare a short monologue (30–60 seconds). It can be dramatic or comedic and should showcase your personality and emotional range. Choose something that speaks to you—original pieces are welcome!

Video Auditions:

While we strongly encourage all performers to audition in person—so we can better evaluate vocal quality, stage presence, and energy in a live setting—we understand that serious conflicts may arise. In such cases, we will accept video submissions. To request video audition instructions, send a text message to 601-810-2393. Your submission will need to include your karaoke-style song selection and the short monologue (30–60 seconds).

Rehearsals:

In-person rehearsals will be held throughout the summer in preparation for one performance to take place on Saturday, September 6th, at The Palace Theater in McComb, MS.

Casting Needs:

We are seeking a racially diverse cast, with a focus on casting Black performers for principal roles representing the core trio and musical figures. Roles are available for all genders and experience levels. Ensemble members will portray a variety of characters including fans, reporters, party guests, and more.
