The Historic Mounds Theatre is holding auditions for its annual Star Trek Fan Production of “It’s An Honorable Life”.
“It’s an Honorable Life” is performed in both Klingon and English, with English supertitles provided so those not fluent in Klingon can easily follow along. The show is suitable for a wide range of audiences but includes simulated violence, including between performers of all genders. Klingon language experience is preferred but not required. However, you must be prepared to learn Klingon throughout the rehearsal process!

To ensure the smooth running of the auditions, we ask you to please fill out and submit our online audition form, and schedule your audition appointment at least two hours prior to the start of auditions. You will be asked to upload a recent photo of yourself (portrait-style preferred, but a formal headshot is not required), a theatrical résumé if you have one, and to mark your conflicts during the rehearsal period.
