Audition Procedures: Appointments are not necessary. There will be a sign up sheet, and auditioners will be taken in the order they turn in their audition sheets. There will be singing and dancing portions of the auditions. Auditioners asked to return for callbacks may be asked to perform cold readings from the script. Each person auditioning will:
Sing up to 32 bars of a song from any musical other than “Footloose” that best demonstrates your voice in the musical style of the show. Please bring sheet music — an audition pianist will be provided.
Be taught and then perform a dance combination. Please wear comfortable and appropriate dancewear and shoes, and arrive stretched, warmed up, and ready to dance.
You may bring a resume and headshot, but your photo will be taken. Also be prepared to complete a calendar of all your conflicts through the opening of the show. All roles are open and unpaid; there is no pre-casting. Call backs, as necessary, will be held Wednesday, August 5 at 7:00pm. Not all roles will require a call back. EVERYONE will be notified regardless of casting.
