AUDITION PROCESS

Prepare 16-32 bars of a ballad or uptempo piece not from the show. You are encouraged to bring additional vocal material to show your vocal range
Be prepared to move for choreographer
Bring your calendar so that you can list any conflicts. Rehearsals are scheduled for three weekday evenings and Saturdays. Not everyone will be called for all rehearsals until January.

We send out audition notice notices by email a couple of weeks before the auditions. If you are not already on our list, to be notified by email of future auditions and shows sign up for Audition Notices.

Auditions and call-backs will all be held at the McLean Community Center. No monologue is needed.

Just show up. No appointment needed. You do NOT need to come to both audition dates.

The rehearsal schedule will normally involve three weekday evenings and Saturdays. The dates will be adjusted to work around cast schedules where possible. Please come prepared to report your possible conflicting dates. Please bring a current resume and headshot with you, if you have one, to be used by MCP on your audition form.

McLean Community Players is an all-volunteer organization. There is no pay for performers.
MCP is an excellent group to audition for. All parts for every show are open—none are ever pre-cast. You need not be a member of MCP and do not need to apply or pay to audition.

Everyone who auditions must sign a waiver. Either print it out, sign it, and bring it with you, or sign one at the audition.

Basically it asks you to certify that you are in good enough health to participate and that you give permission for us to take pictures and use them for publicity for the show. If the actor is a minor (under 18), a parent or legal guardian must sign the form.
