Lakewood’s Beck Center for the Arts Announce Auditions for “Mean Girls”

 

The NE Ohio locally produced premiere of the Broadway hit musical “Mean Girls” playing this summer on Beck Center’s Senney Main Stage will hold Open Call auditions by appointment only on March 8^th and March 9^th. Audition slots will begin with 6PM availability each day. To ensure an audition slot, interested performers should call Beck Patron Services at 216-521-2540 during regular business hours (Generally Noon to 8PM on weekdays, and various weekend hours.)

Open Call Auditions can also take place by submitting a video if preferred. If called back, it is highly desirable that performers are able to appear at callbacks in person, however.

Callbacks sessions will occur on Sat., March 14^th and Sunday, March 15^th.

For initial auditions, please prepare one vocal selection that shows off your voice. This selection should not be more than 90 seconds in length. No monologues are required, and all dance calls will be held as part of the Callback process. The vast majority of roles are High School age-appearing. Requirements for auditions are that performers should be at least 16 years old as of Opening Night, July 10th, 2026

Note: Deadline for any video submissions is Friday, March 6^th at 5PM. 

Please submit to: scottdavidspence@gmail.com

All roles are open for “Mean Girls”. It is anticipated that Two (2) Equity contracts will be available for this production. All non-equity performers who are 18 and over receive a stipend for their participation. Performers under 18 are not compensated.

While non-local performers are certainly encouraged to audition, please know that Beck Center is unable to provide housing or transportation, and that stipends are unlikely to go very far in deferring these expenses.

Performance Dates: “Mean Girls” opens July 10^th and closes August 9^th. Performances are mainly Fri/Sat/Sun with a few Thursdays as well.

Rehearsals: We will begin somewhere between Saturday, May 30^th and Saturday, June 6^th.
