Plays and Musicals

We have many opportunities for students to participate in theatre at Hempstead. On stage, off stage, competition, performance, memorized, improvisational... we try to incorporate as many students as we can.

For performers hoping to be cast in a play or musical, know that all Hempstead auditions are prepared auditions. You will perform selections from the chosen show. Script pages and sheet music is available at least a week before each audition. For the musical there is also a dance portion which is also taught beforehand (or at the actual audition itself). However, if you come to the audition without going through the material you are still free to audition, and we will find a peer that is willing to help you find your feet.

Auditions are not private, since this is a performance based activity. We applaud everyone brave enough to get on the stage. Take the opportunity to go over the word document below that goes over the audition process in more detail. Break a leg.
