Ever wondered what it would be like to play a character on the Campanile stage? This winter, we’re inviting adults from around the Northwoods to join the cast of our first Community Readers Theater production, It Was a Dark & Stormy Night by Tim Kelly.

In readers theater, you perform with the script in hand. The fun is in figuring out how your character sounds, when to let a silence linger, and just how to deliver a line that gets a laugh. Whether you’ve been onstage before or this is the first time you’ve thought about auditioning, we’d love to hear you read.

Audition for a role

Register by Tuesday, December 15, 2026. You can sign up online or call the Campanile office at 715-356-9700. No previous theater experience is needed.
