First of all, cheerleaders "try out"; actors audition. You might as well get the lingo right and look more professional! Most professional theatres have their own talent pool and for a large part they'll be part of Actor's Equity (the actor's union). If you have a specific theatre that you're interested in, I would go directly to the artistic director and ask if they have any internships or classes or any other ways for "new talent" to get to know the theatre. If you're just looking for acting opportunities, I would check local newspapers for audition information at community theatres, regional theatres and even professional theatres that might be looking for "extras." Being part of a "crowd scene" can be great experience and really show you how things work. Once you find a theatre you want to work with, you can start making connections and learning more from the folks who know. Break a leg!

Any specific theatre?? Log onto the theatre's website and there usually is an "auditions" tab ... it will tell you all the information. If there isn't an email, visit a local theatre to get information about auditions.
Usually, professional theatres don't hold open auditions ... they DO have their own actresses ... BUT (good news!) community theatres and other just as good outlets usually have open auditions where you can get connections and put your talent out in the open!

While most theatres like to choose union only actors, especially if the theatre has an ensemble, there are some that hold open calls and allow non-union actors to auditions. Steppenwolf theatre in Chicago does it for sure. It'll usually only be one day, though, and it may not be that advertised so you want to be "in the know" with the theatre community in your city.

Call the Community Theatre in your city and ask when they have auditions and what the procedure is for auditioning.

They're called rehearsals. I have no idea where they're advertised.
