Audition Location and Date:
New York, NY USA: Sat 15th Mar 2014 - Mon 17th Mar 2014
Audition Requirements: Auditions are restricted to non-Equity performers 18 years of age or older.
If you are selected for an appointment, you will have exactly ninety seconds to present two pieces, so you should time and choose your material carefully. Singers should begin with their musical selection followed by their monologue. A professional piano accompanist is provided. If you are not regularly cast in musicals, and you do not honestly sing to a performance standard, it is our experience that you can only harm your chances by trying to bluff your way through a musical audition. Most participating companies perform at least one musical in their season, and therefore only a limited number - usually one third of those attending - will audition or hire non-singers. Therefore, the number of audition slots available to non-musical talent is restricted. Full information on material and presentation will be sent with your appointment notification.
Pianist Provided: Yes. May bring own.
Program Information: StrawHat gathers summer theatres, production and entertainment companies, and casting directors all looking for performers for plays, musicals, cruise ships, theme parks, and special events.
