KING HEDLEY II

Jan 30 – Feb 15, 2026 | Circle

Set in 1980s Pittsburgh, King Hedley II follows a man scraping for a better life by selling stolen goods to fund a dream of owning a video store. Haunted by the past and driven by a need for identity and revenge, King confronts hard truths about family, violence, and survival. This powerful chapter in Wilson’s American Century Cycle revisits characters from Seven Guitars and explores how history’s weight shapes the present.

*Rated PG-13 due to mature themes, language, and violence*

UP NEXT AUDITIONS!

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

February 2-3, 2026

For your Much Ado About Nothing audition, please select ONE of the provided Shakespearean monologues (or any other Shakespearean monologue, including from Much Ado About Nothing itself) to perform, without regard to gender or age assignment of a given character. Pick one that speaks to you, and that you think you can do well!

The director would like to encourage you to familiarize yourself with the full play of whichever monologue you select, to memorize the text of the monologue itself, and to present it at your best performance level.

That said, you are more than welcome to audition the monologue 'cold' or straight from the page, and there will be hard copies of these monologues at the audition for you to use. You won't be penalized for performing a monologue this way, but please keep in mind that it might be more difficult for the director to accurately gauge your aptitude for the material.

Lastly -- you'll be asked on your sign in sheets if you have any singing or musical instrument experience, and if the director feels it's appropriate, he might ask to hear 8-10 bars of a song vocal. Again, feel free to 'wing it', but if you'd like to prepare for this eventuality, please do so.

Thank you ... and good luck!

  • "The Theatre Centre has had a profound positive impact on my family. These past 17 years have seen my daughter, Annie, grow up in the Youth Theatre, my wife, Jackie, painting a set piece or two, and allowed me some time on the stage as well. We would not be the family we are without the CTC."

    Mitch Collins

  • "I am overjoyed with my first theatre experience and so happy it was with the CTC. I became a sponge and realized how much work everyone puts into every production, I’ve learned that theatre is a team sport just like basketball or football. There are no small parts, there is no one who isn’t needed. The cast and crew really taught me why I should appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both on stage and off stage, puts into it. Thanks CTC for sharing your talents and knowledge. I am forever grateful!"

    Kimberly Reynolds

  • "The Theatre Centre is more than a building and a stage and actors and crew. It’s more than a venue. It’s a home and a haven and a family. It’s the frame that holds the masterpieces of Chattanooga’s community: its most talented, creative, and passionate members."

    Greer Caldwell

  • "Thinking of CTC volunteers as amateurs might sound negative, but “amateur” comes from the word for love. The CTC is a community of amateurs who love creating art together. Audiences are surprised that we’re volunteers because of the professional quality of our work. Since 2001, I have volunteered on stage, back stage, behind a piano or in the lobby. The CTC is like Oz: there’s no place like the artistic home I’ve found there."

    John Echols

  • "In THE WIZ, Dorothy sings, 'When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing,' and that has been my experience -- I’ve been very much at home here. I always have that little magical something inside me when I come to this building. Thank you, Theatre Centre, for giving me this opportunity to give back to my community through the arts."
