Audition MATERIALS
SO YOU WANT TO AUDITION FOR THE FALL PLAY PRODUCTION...
FIRST...
ASK YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIANS FOR PERMISSION TO AUDITION! BEING IN A THEATRICAL PRODUCTION IS A HUGE COMMITMENT. YOU WILL NEED TO BRING A SIGNED PERMISSION SLIP TO AUDITIONS INDICATING THEIR COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE YOU CAN ATTEND ALL REQUIRED REHEARSALS.
PERFORMING IN A THEATRICAL PRODUCTION IS A SERIOUS COMMITMENT.
REHEARSALS WILL BE HELD 3 TO 5 DAYS PER WEEK AFTER SCHOOL, INCLUDING SOME SATURDAYS
THE SIZE OF YOUR PART WILL DETERMINE HOW MANY DAYS EACH WEEK YOU WILL HAVE REHEARSAL.
MAIN CHARACTERS USUALLY REHEARSE 4 TO 5 DAYS A WEEK.
MOST REHEARSALS WILL END AT 5:00 PM, BUT THERE WILL BE DAYS WHEN REHEARSAL WILL END LATER.
NO ACTIVITY BUS IS AVAILABLE AT THESE TIMES.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ATTEND ALL REQUIRED REHEARSALS, INCLUDING SATURDAYS. PRIOR COMMITMENTS CAN BE WORKED WITH IF THEY ARE LISTED ON THE AUDITION FORM, BUT THE PRODUCTION MUST BE A PRIORITY DURING THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF REHEARSAL.
CAST MEMBERS WHO HAVE FREQUENT ABSENCES FROM REHEARSAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CAST, REGARDLESS OF THEIR PART.

DOWNLOAD AND COMPLETE THE AUDITION FORM AS WELL AS ANY AUDITION MATERIALS. SOME AUDITIONS WILL ASK YOU TO MEMORIZE AND PERFORM A MONOLOGUE AND EVEN PART OF A SONG. (SEE BELOW)

SIGN UP TO ATTEND AUDITIONS! ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE DAY. SIGN-UPS ARE ON THE LINK BELOW.
FINALLY . . .
PRACTICE! IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE PREPARED. THERE ARE USUALLY ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO OVER 100 STUDENTS AUDITIONING FOR ABOUT 20-30 ROLES. THE MORE YOU PREPARE, THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING THE SHOW. REMEMBER, ALL GRADES CAN PARTICIPATE AND ROLES ARE NOT GIVEN BASED ON GRADE LEVEL.
Click on the link above to download and print the audition form. This form must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian in order for a student to participate in auditions.
If you do not have access to a printer, please pick up a paper copy in Ms. Reitnauer's (D223) or Mrs. Silver's (B128) room.
Please complete the sign-up below after you have asked a parent or guardian for permission to attend auditions.
Click on the link above and select ONE monologue to perform for auditions.
If you have auditioned at SMS before, please make sure to select a new monologue each time you audition. (It does not look good if you keep recycling the same one each time!)
MEMORIZE your monologue!
You may use small props to perform your monologue for auditions. You will be performing in front of a group.
