Audition info
ROBERT LANGDON: (Male, 40s) Charismatic Harvard professor of Religious Symbology who, with this vast knowledge and puzzle-solving brain, races to solve a murderous plot and unravel a centuries-old secret of The Priory of Sion.
SILAS: (Male, 20s-30s) Silas is devout in the most extreme form. An orphan, saved by a Catholic priest, he will do anything to defend the church that saved him. Powerful and imposing, has a lot of stage time, major significance to the plot, but limited dialogue.
JACQUES SAUNIERE: (Male, 50s-70s) Curator of the Louvre, keeper of the grail secret, grandfather of Sophie – he’s the starting point of the whole mystery. Gentle, with deep intelligence but he too is burdened by sorrow.
BEZU FACHE: (Male, 40s to 60s) Fache is the best of the Paris police dept, who is close on the heels of Langdon and Sophie. Smart but constantly frustrated by the competence of others, Fache is a realist. He’s there to take them down.
COLLET: (Female, 20s to 30s). Lieutenant and subordinate to Fache, she will do anything to impress him to get up the police ladder.
SOPHIE: (Female, 20s to 30s) Sophie is the most exciting new addition to the Paris police cryptography department, but also granddaughter to Sauniere and key to the grail mystery. Expert code breaker, brilliant mind, but carries years of sadness.
SISTER SANDRINE/MARIE: (Female, 50s to 60s). Sister Sandrine is the caretaker of Saint Sulpice in Paris, where the final resting place of the grail might be found. Stoic and resolved, she’s ready to die to protect the secret. Marie is Sophie’s Grandmother and is gentle, intelligent, and also burdened by a lifelong secret.
VERNET: (Any, 30s to 40s) Vernet is the manager of the most unique, secretive and allusive bank in the world. Protecting the grail. He/she is not to be trusted.
SIR LEIGH TEABING: (Male, 50s to 70s) Arguably the world’s greatest grail expert. Eccentric, charismatic and charming English gentleman and rhetorician. From the landed gentry, he’s had the freedom to make this his life’s obsession. Friend of Langdon as a scholar, but he’ll do whatever is required to make the grail myth a reality.
REMY: (Male, 20s to 40s) Ambitious, devious, determined and sick of years of being treated as if he was inferior. Remy has clawed his way out of the gutter and is determined not to be kicked back down there.
Ensemble: CHURCH VOLUNTEER, DOCENT, PHILIP, HOODED ENSEMBLE

- You will be asked to read from the script. Non-musical productions will either provide sides from the script or ask you to prepare a monologue, do not prepare anything unless it is stated.
- For musicals you will be audition with music from the show usually posted online 2 weeks prior to show. Do not prepare anything else unless it is stated to do so.
- Wear comfortable clothes. We encourage you to look your best, but also come prepared for some dance or movement exercises for bigger dance musical auditions (not all shows have dance portions).
- Call Backs will be scheduled for later in the afternoon or the next day. Using the email address you will provide in your audition form or with a physical posted list, we will contact you for your callback. Just because you’re not on the callback list does not mean you are not in the show.
- Character Breakdowns are listed above for each show. There is some flexibility in requirements within reason (such as age) and some are non-negotiable, so please plan accordingly. You have the ability to indicate which role you are interested in on your audition form, along with whether or not you would accept an ensemble role. Please be honest in your willingness to participate, as this helps the casting process go more smoothly.
- Get your calendar out – you need to share your rehearsal conflicts. Every rehearsal is important and while every actor may not be called in for every rehearsal, when you are needed, you are needed! The fewer you have the better, but above all, be honest when filling out the audition form and listing any conflicts you might have.
Rehearsals are typically Sunday – Thursday, 6:30 – 9:30 pm, beginning the week after auditions.
Mainstage Shows typically run for three weekends (with some exceptions) including a week of technical rehearsals prior. You must be available for all of the show/tech dates. Check the website for all performance dates to make sure you are available before you sign up to audition.
Anyone who has signed up to audition will receive an email notice the first business day after auditions with the full cast list.
