Audition Frequently Asked Questions

How many nights of auditions do we need to be at?

You will only need to be at one night of auditions.  You may also be asked to return for callbacks on June 1st.  You will be either told during your audition or called if that is the case.

When are rehearsals?

Rehearsals dates start June 6th.  They typically begin at 7pm and can run until 10:30pm Monday-Friday.  During the first few weeks rehearsals will most likely end sooner.  There are rehearsals scheduled for some weekends.  During these weekends you may be scheduled to run technical, dress rehearsal, sound checks, orchestra sing thru, costume fittings, and other things. A more specific breakdown of who is scheduled for each day will be given out the first night of rehearsal.  Check back here for a tentative rehearsal schedule.

Do we need to make an appointment, or just come at 7:00 to one of the three auditions?

There is no need to make an appointment.  Just arrive at 7:00.

We have a (family vacation or camp or wedding) planned during rehearsals, will this keep me from getting cast in the show?

If you can avoid any schedule conflicts, please do.  It really depends on if the role you are auditioning for, the time of the event, the length of your absence.  The earlier in rehearsals, the more likely it is that we can accommodate a scheduling conflict. Please note that conflicts are not allowed the last two weeks of rehearsals.

What are auditions like?

Fun!  If this is your first time, don't worry, we will do everything we can to make you succeed and feel comfortable.  You will arrive at the audition dressed to move (with comfortable shoes), with song prepared, and knowing any schedule conflicts.  You then check in at the audition table.  You will be given an audition form to fill out and a rehearsal schedule to look over.  If you do not have a current picture with you, one will be taken of you.  After your forms are filled out you can have a seat until your name is called.  You will called to go in and sing for the music director and the director, you may then be asked to read a short scene from the show.  You will also be called to go in and dance in a different room with the choreographer, you do not need to have a prepared dance, the choreographer will be teaching you some basic dance steps.  If you have more dance experience, you may be shown a routine with greater difficulty.  The important thing to remember is to relax and be yourself.
