2026 Annual Non-Equity Auditions
Joint auditions with Children’s Theater of Madison
It’s a one-stop shop for non-Equity actors this year!
CTM and Forward are pleased to announce that they will host their 2026 non-Equity general auditions jointly. What does that mean for actors? Convenience, we hope! Both companies’ audition dates are at the same time and same place, but separate rooms. Whether you’re looking to audition for one company or both, we’d love to see you, and we hope this makes it a little easier for you to be seen.
Location, Dates, and Times
Auditions will be held at Madison Youth Arts (1055 W. Mifflin St.) on the following dates:
Sunday, March 1, 2026, 1:00-5:00 PM
Monday, March 2, 2026, 5:00-10:00 PM
Sign-Ups
Sign-ups for audition slots will go active on Sunday, February 1, 2026. [Check back here at that time or at each company link below to claim your spot.]
Each company will post separate sign-up links. Signing up for an audition slot with one company does not mean the other will be in that audition room, nor that materials and notes will be shared. If you’d like to be seen by both companies, please make sure to schedule time with both.
In addition, though Forward and CTM cannot guarantee that your audition slots will be spaced at your greatest convenience, we’ll do what we can to accommodate in the event of overlap on the day of.
