Grand Rapids Circle Theatre welcomes performers back, opens 2021 auditions 

This year, the Circle Theatre will be hosting virtual auditions for three of their main productions, those being: “The Gin Game,” “Always… Patsy Cline,” and “Cabaret.”

From March 1-14, virtual auditions will be open for “The Gin Game” and “Always…Patsy Cline” and from March 1-28, auditions will be open for “Cabaret.” This show will include intentional color casting in the roles of Master of Ceremonies, Sally Bowles, Clifford Bradshaw, and others.

“The Gin Game” and “Always…Patsy Cline” will both be “Circle On The Lawn” productions, meaning the performances will be taking place outside on a stage set up on the Circle Theatre lawn. 

In July, Circle Theatre is planning to move back into its theatre with the production of “Cabaret.”
