Step 1:
SCHEDULE YOUR AUDITION!
Auditions will take place on Saturday, May 6. Students wishing to audition should sign up for a 90 minute time slot using the button below. Students should plan to stay for the full 90 minutes. If needed, callbacks will take place on Sunday, May 7. All casting will be notified by phone by Monday, May 22!
Step 2:
PREPARE YOUR AUDITION!
The group audition will consist of a vocal audition as well as a dance audition. For the vocal audition, students are asked to prepare the audition cut for ONE of the audition song options and ONE spoken line. All song and line options will be available on this website in March! No preparation is needed for the dance audition, but please wear clothes that you can move in!
Step 3:
ATTEND YOUR AUDITION!
Once you've scheduled your audition time, prepared your audition selections, the last thing you need to do is attend the audition - the FUN part! There are a few things you need to bring with you to the audition: (1) Your completed Audition Form, (2) A recent photo or headshot, and (3) Your Resume (resumes are not required).
Step 4:
YOU'RE IN THE PLAY!
After auditions, all actors will be notified about casting. Everyone who auditions for the play is cast in the show!!! Later in May there will be a parent & cast informational meeting where students receive the script, rehearsal schedule, and other important information.
Rehearsals will take place Monday - Friday evenings from 5 - 9pm. Please note that the schedule is a broken down call meaning that the full cast is not called to every rehearsal. Typically, younger students are released earlier in the evening!
