Cast List

This program is designed to provide students with experience in the artistic/creative process through participation in all aspects of play production.

Fall Musical: Addams Family

Audition Process Overview

● Sign up for a 10-minute audition slot (Sing and solo Dance)

● Prepare one of the attached sides or monologue and the music cut that best fits your voice part (Use the Accompaniment tracks below)

● Come to your audition – you will fill out a form, meet the casting team, read your side, and sing your music cut. You might be asked to read or sing again after getting some notes from the director or casting team

● If we would like to consider you for a specific lead role, you will receive an email asking you to do a callback audition; callbacks will be more sides and music with dance number.

● Auditionees will be contacted by email about casting decisions on the first week of August

What are sides?

Choose one role to read for during your audition. The role you read for will not determine the roles you are considered for, so pick whichever side you think best showcases your acting skills.  Most of the sides are dialogues, so someone on the audition team will read for the other role during your audition. You need to memorize your side.

We also have Monologues for each character.  Please memorize your monologues.

Music Cuts

Similarly, the music cut you choose will not affect which roles you’ll be considered for, so choose whichever cut you’d prefer!
