SCHEDULE:

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

• Please prepare a musical selection that shows off the character of your voice; please bring sheet music (pianist provided) or a backing track (no voices); you may blu-tooth to our stereo or bring a CD. We will only have a singing audition, so it’s important that you incorporate acting and expression into your song audition. There won’t be any reading from the script as the show is all music. Dance auditions/placement will be held after the show is cast; if you have dance experience please be sure to add this to your auditiojn form.
• You do not need to make an audition appointment, simply show up. We see people in the order they arrive and complete paperwork. To print and fill out the audition form ahead of time please click HERE.
• IMPORTANT: If you audition for our production and are cast it is expected you will follow through and do our production; failure to do so may prevent you from being cast in a future show as you will have possibly taken a spot from someone who was not cast. If you are auditioning ONLY for specific roles you may specify that on the audition form and you will only be considered for those roles. If you do not specify we will assume you will accept ANY role offered.
• There is NO production fee for this show.
• Parents of Children’s Choir participants will be expected to help backstage for 1 or 2 tech rehearsals/performances to help manage the kids.
