Summer 2026: 9 to 5

DETAILS:

The Woodbridge Community Players invite you to audition for our SUMMER 2026 production of 9 TO 5 – THE MUSICAL.
Performances run July 23-26 at the Theatre at WMS in Woodbridge.

AUDITION TIMES:

Saturday, May 23 @ 10 am

CALLBACKS:

Thursday, May 28 @ 6:30 pm

REHEARSALS:

Rehearsals will begin June 4. We rehearse Mon - Fri evenings (generally 6-9 - we will determine precise times once we have our cast) as well as Saturday mornings, usually until 1 or 2. As we get closer to performance dates, we will add Sunday rehearsals.  Not everyone will need to be at every rehearsal until closer to performance; it depends on the role. We provide weekly call lists for rehearsals once we begin.

LOCATION FOR AUDITIONS AND REHEARSALS: The Theatre at WMS, 525 Barron Avenue, Woodbridge

IF YOU ARE OFFERED A ROLE IN THIS PRODUCTION:  

You agree to make a full commitment to this show. 

 -- If at any time after you accept a role, other opportunities or non-emergency commitments arise that conflict with regular rehearsal or posted performance times, you will fulfill the commitment you have made to this production and decline the other opportunity. It is your job to resolve any conflicts that arise before rehearsal/performance and to arrive on time each and every day that you are called.  The director agrees only to accommodate conflicts that you’ve listed on the audition form.  

-- Depending on your role, you may be called for 4-6 rehearsals per week.  Actors will only be called to rehearsals for which they are needed; the final schedule is subject to change based on progress made in rehearsal. 

-- Therefore, you must keep your schedule flexible even for days you are not initially called.  

**The full cast will be called for every rehearsal as we head into tech.  All tech and performance dates are mandatory.
