There will also be a Parent Resource Table set up during auditions. You can complete your Parent Talent Volunteer form, ask any questions you may have or just stop by and say “Hello”!

HOW TO AUDITION

Actors should arrive with approximately 1 minute of a song prepared to sing a cappella and from memory. They should expect to do some cold reading from the script and possibly some other acting exercises. They should come in comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement.

This does NOT mean that all actors will be called every day each week.  Any conflicts (standing appointments, trips, etc.) need to be noted in the “conflicts” area of registration. A full rehearsal schedule will be provided after casting that will tell which actors are rehearsing on what day.
