Auditions will be held December 19th and 20th
Your audition number will appear on the AUDITION TIMES SLIDE. Students must remember their number as it will appear on the callback and cast list in place of their name. Each student will have a 5 minute block of time. YOU MUST BE ON TIME or you will be skipped. Upon arrival, all students should report to room 309 (Ms. Ryan's Classroom). Students will be called into ROOM 314A (Mrs. Curatolo's room) one at a time to audition.
Requirements
You must be prepared to sing the JUNIOR VERSION of the songs listed below. While you may only be asked to sing a part of the song, you must be prepared to sing the WHOLE SONG with the accompaniment. For songs that have back and forth between two characters, you can pick one character to focus on, but YOU MUST BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THE MUSIC. Ultimately, we want you to be SUCCESSFUL, so choose which song you are most comfortable with!

You must be prepared to read lines from one of the scripts available on the site.

IF YOU ARE AUDITIONING FOR A NON SINGING ROLE
Introduce yourself (state your name, grade and tell us one QUICK thing about yourself)
You must be prepared to read lines from one of the scripts available on the site. (Keep in mind, we may ask you to read from several scripts, so be PREPARED.) Also, remember this a MUSICAL, so you are limiting yourself by not singing, but ultimately, the choice is yours.
If you aren't sure what PART you want, please consider doing a FULL AUDITION(singing, dancing, and reading lines) and let us be the JUDGE! :)
Callbacks will be held December 22nd
Receiving a callback does not mean you are or are not being cast in Matilda Jr. It simply means the panel of judges would like to see you sing, dance or read again.
There will be a list containing the numbers of the students receiving a callback posted on Mrs. Curatolo's website on December 21st.
If you receive a callback you must plan to attend callbacks from 2:05 - 5:15 on December 22nd. . Some of you may be required to stay the entire time, while others will be let out early. Students will all be auditioning and waiting in the OLD GYM. Callbacks will be on THE STAGE! (For this portion of auditions, students will be performing in front of the other students who received a CALLBACK. Keep in mind, BEING RESPECTFUL is a requirement for you to be included in this process.)
