Audition Information

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE AUDITION 

Your monologue is the key component of your audition. You should select and prepare a one minute monologue. When selecting and preparing audition material, please keep the following in mind:

• Age appropriateness

• Be familiar with the story

• REHEARSE!!!

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AUDITION 

Auditions work on a first come, first serve basis. Students will sign in at the door and wait until called. Each student will audition privately with our audition panel behind a closed door. As auditions are being rolled out, feel free to practice or warm up, but please be mindful of those auditioning inside the room. Remember that the audition panel is on your side. They will be looking for your best qualities. We have gone through the audition process ourselves and understand how nerve-wracking it can be, so relax and do your best! 

CALLBACKS

Callbacks will be on September 8th at 4pm. They will be kept to a minimum and are by invitation only. Not receiving an invitation to callbacks does not mean that you will not be cast. It just means that we need a second look at certain people together in order to make final casting decisions. 

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CALLBACKS

Your callback performance is another key component of your overall audition. You should be prepared to do cold-reads from the script. Make sure you understand the characters and the plot of the play.
