We will hold auditions in the afternoon on the first day of camp. Here are some quick things for you to know about auditions:

• Everyone makes it into the show! 

• Your audition serves many purposes: 

  • It helps us get to know everyone

  • It gives us a chance to see our students work as a group

  • It gives us a chance to practice the skill of auditioning!

• We cast the principals (sometimes called "leads") after auditions and announce them on Day 2. 

• We're paying attention to skill, but also someone's ability to learn and work with the teachers.

• We'll sometimes do "callbacks". Callbacks are when we want to try someone on a particular part.

• If you want a solo in the show you must sing by yourself on audition day. No one is forced to sing alone, but if you want a principal singing role, you must sing by yourself!

  • There are non-singing speaking roles in this show.

• We sometimes cast parts after audition day based on growth that happens over the course of camp.

• Although the principals are usually our oldest students, we always have special parts for younger students who excel in their auditions.

• You will have LOTS to do even if you're not a principal. Members of the chorus may not have lines, but they usually have more to do in the show overall. Everyone in Something Rotten Jr.! will be performing in at least six songs.
