FREAKY FRIDAY Auditions

About the show:
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other's shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another's struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
What we are looking for:
We are looking for talented and diverse performers of all ethnicities for all roles.
This production will have 4 performances with one understudy show.
Glenn Theatre desires to be as inclusive as possible and we enthusiastically encourage any one to audition for any roles listed. We also seek all abilities and skill levels. We have shared character descriptions and breakdowns on the google classroom.
We are looking for enthusiastic and open-minded performers that are excited to grow their musical theatre acting abilities throughout the process. Strong vocalists, dancers, and actors are especially encouraged to audition.
The Audition:
Initial auditions will take place in the Glenn Black Box on September 29th from 4-6pm. Please prepare one vocal audition cut with a song provided from the production. Audition cuts of songs can be found in the Grizzly Theatre Google Classroom linked above. Please choose a song that showcases your vocal abilities and acting abilities. You are permitted to audition with the ensemble cuts if you so please. More information on ensemble cuts are located in the Google Drive folder. For vocal auditions, please ensure that you come prepared in semi business professional clothing.
Dance auditions will take place in the Glenn Auditorium on September 30th from 4-6pm. Please dress in clothing that you can dance and move freely in. Please refrain from wearing jeans or restricting clothing for your dance audition. We ask that you wear closed toed shoes, that you feel comfortable in. You will learn a dance cut at the audition then will be split into smaller groups.
Please note that at any time, these auditions could be video recorded for casting purposes only.

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.
