See below for audition information for upcoming Threshold Theatre Collective productions.
Threshold Theatre Collective is thrilled to announce auditions for our Spring 2026 production of the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde by Frank Wildhorn, Leslie Bricusse, and Steve Cuden. Featuring a sweeping score, thrilling duality, and non-traditional staging, this production will be performed in an intimate, non-proscenium venue around Union Square, NYC.
Threshold embraces equitable and inclusive casting. We welcome actors of all gender identities, races, ethnicities, body types, and abilities for all roles.
We will be casting understudies for the roles of Jekyll/Hyde, Emma Carew, and Lucy Harris. There will be two understudy performances, one each weekend of shows.
Featured roles will be cast from the ensemble where appropriate.
