Call for Auditions: MCC’s “RENT” Auditions Open to Community

For Middlesex Community College’s Spring 2023 musical, the college is opening up auditions to the community. MCC’s Theatre department is seeking talented, non-union performers from the college’s diverse communities to be part of the groundbreaking, Tony award-winning musical “RENT” by Jonathan Larson.

“The Middlesex Community College Theatre department prides itself in offering productions that empower and challenge,” said Karen Oster, MCC’s Chair of Performing Arts. “For this production, we would like to open our production of ‘RENT’ to the community so that anyone is welcome to audition. These connections will allow our students to share their stories with others and be part of a larger community that sees the arts as a crucial addition to their lives.”

Auditions are open to performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, abilities and ages. Middlesex is looking for performers who are Asian/Asian American, Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic American, Indigenous/Native American.

The first round of auditions will be held from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, January 4 and Thursday, January 5, with callbacks on Sunday, January 8, 2023. Performances will take place from Thursday, April 20 through Sunday, April 23.
