Once Upon A Mattress Musical Auditions
DATES TBA
About the show:
"Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing." - Concord Theatricals.

Audition Etiquette
Audition Etiquette
Smile and have fun!
Dress appropriately.
Practice your introduction! Slate should include your name and the song you are singing.
Thank the people in the room before you leave!
Be careful how you act in the waiting room. You never know who’s listening.
Time yourself and your audition, including your slate time.
Choose audition pieces that are age appropriate.
Try to choose material that isn’t overdone. Try to avoid repeating material that other actors may use.
Do NOT mime actions or use props during your audition.
Try your best to keep your audition to the defined audition space.
One thing that’s frequently argued is whether or not to make eye contact with the casting team during your audition. This is something that, ultimately, will be up to you. Some directors feel a dis-connect if they’re ignored by actors, but others can feel like they’re being stared down if caught in eye contact for too long.
Don’t choreograph your monologue or song.
