Auditions
We are very excited for musical auditions on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16 (FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, from 3pm-6pm).
Please read the Character Breakdown PDF, then choose ONE piece of sheet music, all labeled by character name. Please become as familiar as possible with the music. We want your best effort, so if that means holding the music, or having it on a music stand, that is okay. But you must prepare! We want to see your face while you perform!
Callbacks are AUGUST 17 & 18, 3:00-6pm. A callback list will be posted the evening of AUGUST 16th.
Here is an audition packet:
