2. All students will sing at auditions-the more you can show us you ARE the character (characterization, movement, voice, intonation, etc.), the better the audition!

See music at the top of the right-hand column of this page
Plan to sing about 30 seconds to 1 minute of the song you're preparing...no one will sing the entire song.
Leads: Students interested in lead roles are expected to sing a solo or prepare a duet.
Ensemble: If you're not interested in a lead role, you can come prepared with a a group to sing or we will put you in a group at auditions to sing with for your audition.
DANCE:
Students will not be expected to dance at auditions, but many opportunities for dance will be available to all cast members throughout the rehearsal process beginning in January.
ACT (at call backs): Actors will be given scripts to rehearse at call backs to see dynamics between different characters. Scripts CAN be used in the audition.
Callbacks:
Please read everything about callbacks:
1. Please know a callback does not mean a lead or even a named part, but that we liked what we heard and saw and want to see/hear you again.
2. You will each sing again for us at the beginning of callbacks. Please plan on moving for us while you sing.
3. Some of you will be asked to sing again (and maybe again).
4. Some of you will be given a script to prepare a scene from and perform during callbacks.
5. Everyone who auditions WILL be in the show and should plan on attending our 1st ALL cast and crew meeting.
