Technical Theatre Employment Opportunities

Wagon Wheel Junior presents two full musicals each year. The cast is comprised of students age 9 to 18 from across the region. Students of any skill and experience level are welcome to audition. The rehearsals operate like our professional theatre productions, with the rehearsals lasting just two weeks ending with three performances on the final weekend. The Wagon Wheel Theatre is dedicated to practicing inclusive, diverse, and non-traditional casting. We encourage all youth from the greater Warsaw area and beyond to audition.

The Symphony of the Lakes orchestra holds auditions annually in the fall. The SOTL partners with other local classical music programs, Grace College and the Classic Arts Programs, on many concerts and events throughout the year providing musicians with around 5 concert opportunities each year. Instrumentation requirements for each concert varies significantly. Each concert usually has between 1 and 3 rehearsals and 1 or 2 performances. Musicians who accept positions (other than sub) with the SOTL are expected to participate in no less than 2 concerts each year but are encouraged to participate in all 5 cycles as it applies to their instrument. SOTL pre-selects audition materials and will provide the materials when you register to audition.
