Go out doing smth vs. go out to do smth

I'm somewhat confused about the difference between these two constructions. I can't get when I should use a gerund and when an infinitive.
I believe it's very easy for a native speaker to tell the difference if it exists, of course [Emotion: party!!!]

I'd also want to learn the British equivalent to the phrasal verb 'try out for'. For example, what verb would a British native speaker use in the following sentence:
Rita's trying out for the school play again. I have failed to find any verb which could replace 'try out for'. Hope you help me.
