What do I prepare?
We ask that you prepare a 16-32 measure song (approximately one minute in length) and a memorized monologue of up to one minute. Both of these should be in the style of the show you are auditioning for. Uploading your instrumental music file for your song (mp3 track OR pdf sheet music) to your online audition form is required for the audition. Make sure that both the song and monologue you choose are age appropriate. If you are interested in a particular character from the show, choose material that is similar to the behavior or characteristics of that character.
What do the auditions consist of?
You will be expected to perform a song and a monologue. For most of our auditions, a short dance audition will follow. Comfortable clothes and close-toed shoes (tennis shoes or jazz shoes) are recommended for the dance portion.
What if I'm nervous?
Being nervous is natural, but we hope to alleviate those nerves with our upbeat atmosphere and opportunities to attend mock auditions. Remember, we are all here to have fun. Come into the audition room with confidence and a smile on your face. Show the judges you are comfortable being in front of people, and you will rock that audition!
Why is behavior important in an audition?
Behavior is noted right when you step into the audition room so make sure you respect both the production team and your fellow audition group members. It is important that you stay quiet when others are auditioning so they aren't distracted or prevented from performing their material. This will make the audition process run as smoothly as possible.
What are callbacks?
Callbacks are essentially another audition where you are asked to read or sing for specific characters from the show. They typically are held the day following the second night of auditions. If you are needed at callbacks for the show you auditioned for, you will be notified by a phone call from the production stage manager or other production team member.
What if I don't receive a callback?
Don't be discouraged. If you don't receive a callback after your audition, that doesn't mean you are not cast in the show. Casting is like piecing together a puzzle, and callbacks are utilized to make sure that puzzle is put together just right!
