Auditions: Week of Sept 2!

Who can audition?

Everyone! All grades are welcome to audition, and everyone who auditions will be cast. You must attend auditions in order to be cast in the show.

When are rehearsals and performances?

Regular rehearsals are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 2:40-5:00pm. Students must be available for all three rehearsal days in order to be in the show. Talk to Ms. Speed if you have questions! Performances are November 20 at 4:30pm, November 21 at 7:00pm, and November 22 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm.

When are auditions?

Auditions are on Wednesday, September 3 and Thursday, September 4 from 2:40-6:00pm. Auditionees should choose either Wednesday or Thursday to audition. You can sign up for an audition using the link to the sign-up genius on google classroom. Callbacks, which is when we ask some folks to come back and see us again, are Friday, September 5. Not everyone needs to come to callbacks!

What do I need to audition?

1. Join the google classroom.

2. Sign up for a day on the sign-up genius.

3. Have a grown up fill out an audition contract. This must be filled out prior to auditions!

Do I need to prepare anything for the audition?

Nope! You will be taught everything you need to know at the audition. That said, if you want to prepare, you can find the audition materials here. There are two songs to choose from, as well as a list of monologue options.

What will happen at auditions?

All students will learn the song with the music director. Then, we will break into two big groups. One big group will learn the dance with the choreographer, then perform the dance in smaller groups. The other big group will be measured for costumes, and in the meantime, they will be pulled into the drama room in groups of 5 for their singing/acting audition. Then we’ll switch! Everyone needs to attend the whole audition process.

What is the show about?

In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

What roles are available?
