Auditions

Accomplice is a witty, fast-paced thriller filled with twists, deception, and dark comedy. The show requires quick timing, strong character work, and actors who enjoy playing with suspense and surprise. The less the audience sees coming, the better.

Who we are looking for

Casting 4 adult roles, all requiring sharp comedic instincts, strong stage presence, and versatility.

This production involves physical comedy and moments of staged intimacy, including one scene with nudity as mentioned below. All work will be choreographed respectfully with performer comfort in mind.

If you are cast in the show, you are required to join Wellington Repertory Theatre (WRT), with an annual fee of between $25 and $35. This also entitles you to discounts on other WRT shows.

Audition details and preparation

You must book an audition using the online audition form. The Production Manager will then be in touch to confirm your booking, offer an audition time, and answer any questions you may have.

• Prepare a short comedic or dramatic monologue (1–2 minutes).
• Cold reads from the script will be provided.
• Auditions will be held in groups.
• Bring any schedule conflicts between 23 August and 7 November.
