WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Ages 12 and up

What to Wear

Loose comfortable clothing. You will be doing a short dance audition as well so dress apropriately.

What to Bring

Please bring a pencil and a notebook for taking any notes or writing down additional information. Don't forget your sheet music for the pianist. Also don't forget your enthusiasm.

What NOT to Bring

If you MUST bring a cell phone, please turn it off once you enter the audition space and refrain from talking or texting on it. It's a distraction to others and if you're using it, you're not focusing on other's auditions. Please use common courtesy.

What to Expect and What's Expected of You

The audition will be split into three parts. Singing, Dancing and a Cold Reading from the script. You're expected to have 32 bars learned of a song you feel best represents your voice and talent. Contemporary pop or musical theatre music is preferred, and you may sing something from the show. You must bring either the sheet music in the correct key or an accompaniment track. NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO SING A CAPPELLA, and you may not sing along to a regular CD that already has lead vocals on it. You will learn a short bit of choreography but you're not expected to be a trained dancer in order to be cast. You will then be asked to read scenes from the script.

After the Audition

If you're needed to perform a callback audition you will be notified of the place and time.
