Auditions for Gaslight (Angel Street): The Radio Play

Step into the suspenseful world of classic radio drama! Anchorage Community Theatre is holding auditions for Gaslight: The Radio Play, a live staged radio performance of the famous Victorian thriller, with local voice actors and foley artists!

Auditions: Monday, March 16 at 6 PM
Location: Betti’s Bookstore – 3956 Spenard Rd, Anchorage

No preparation needed — just come ready to read from the script.

This format is perfect for:
• Voice actors who love storytelling through voice
• Actors with limited availability who still want to be part of a production
• New actors looking for a welcoming way to get involved in theatre

Because this is a radio-style performance, the rehearsal process is shorter and lines are read from scripts — no memorization required.

Performances: April 18 & 19, 7pm 2026
Betti’s Bookstore – 3956 Spenard Rd

Come help us bring this haunting Victorian mystery to life with voice, foley, and imagination.

Auditioning FAQ's

What’s an audition at ACT like?

At ACT we do what is called a cold read. That means no memorization is required! You'll be given a small section of the script (a side) and the director will ask you to read for a character by yourself or with another actor who is auditioning. Every director is different — some will give you instruction in the audition to see how you respond to direction, and some will just want to see your first instincts. The director will contact you soon after an audition if they want to offer you a role.

Can I read the script before auditions?

Reading a play before you audition for it is always a good idea — you want to make sure you like the play, and it will help you feel prepared in the audition. If you’d like to read the script ahead of time, you can check one out from the ACT office. A $20 deposit is required and will be returned to you when you bring back the script.

Will I get cast?

Maybe! If you don't get cast after your first audition, don't worry! Feel free to give us a call, and the director may be able to provide feedback to help improve your next audition. If you want to learn more, keep an eye out for upcoming classes.

When are auditions helD?

Generally, auditions happen 6 to 8 weeks before a show opens, allowing for at least 5 weeks of rehearsals.
