AUDITION SCHEDULE

VOCAL AUDITIONS: Monday October 19, Tuesday October 20 in the Drama room 164

Mandatory. Prepare 1 minute of a song, sung a capella, similar in style and range to this year’s musical. Expect us to test your range as well so we can determine which choral parts to give you when singing in group numbers. 

DANCE AUDITION: Wednesday October 21 on the Stage

Mandatory. One hour learning a dance routine to be performed in small groups. Wear comfortable clothing and bring jazz shoes or indoor sneakers  if you have them. Bare feet are also allowed. The purpose is to gauge the level of abilities for each cast member so the choreographers can make creative decisions on style, difficulty, feature moments, positioning, etc.

CALL BACKS: Thursday October 22 in the Drama room 164

Mandatory. If you are asked to “Call Backs” for a role, we will email you and attach the Sides and vocal section(s) to prepare in advance. On your call back day, we will teach you the vocal section and then you will present both the side(s) and sing the vocal section. No memorization needed for the side readings, but you should review them before the call back. You should get familiar with the Album. If you want the backing tracks to rehearse with, find them here: Backing Tracks. If you are not asked to call backs, that does not mean you did not get a role. 

CAST LIST POSTING & READ THROUGH

The cast list will be posted by the morning of Friday, October 23 on Google Classroom. Script distribution and read through will take place on stage after school on the same day. 

SYNOPSIS

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.
