Please sign up for an audition time on the theater door. The audition sign-up sheet has already been posted. Please arrive 10 minutes before your audition time and show up for you audition prepared and ready to go. In the event we have a large crowd for auditions, I want to make sure we can move all students through the audition process quickly. Please know that auditions will be downstairs in the learning center. Auditions are open for all students grades 5-8.
STAGE CREW AUDITIONS:
I am doing things a bit differently for the stage crew for the musical. All students wanting to participate in the tech crew MUST audition in January. I will hold separate auditions for those students wanting to participate in the tech side in mid-January. Please stay tuned for more information and additional requirements. Please know that you do not need to show up for the acting auditions before Christmas break.
Callbacks: Wednesday, December 14th: 6:00 - 9:00
The callback list will be posted no later than Tuesday night at midnight. I will do my best to post this list earlier, but please know I am trying to quickly take care of the audition and callback process to catch your children before Christmas break. Please know that even if your student is not invited to callbacks, it does not mean your student is not cast in the musical. Callbacks are a chance for me to see certain students again. Please be prepared to dance at callbacks, if necessary.
Cast List will be posted no later than Saturday, December 17th by noon.
I would like to be able to give scripts and possibly music to a majority of the cast to work on over their break before they leave for the holidays. Please stay tuned for more information for a script/cd pick-up.
ITEMS REQUIRED TO AUDITION:
- Memorized Monologue (1 minute or less)
- Memorized Song (1 minute or less - no longer than 1 minute, please)**student must bring an accompaniment/karoke cd or sing a capella (there can be no vocals on this cd). There will be no pianist for accompaniment - a cd player and iPod dock will be provided. Please sing a a Broadway tune that best represents your voice. This can be a song from any musical.

Please check back to the blog to download the audition form and calendar by Wednesday, December 7th. Please be patient, as I want to make sure all information is accurately posted. Please carefully watch the blog, as all updates will be posted here.
Due to the time frame of the musical, I am looking for dedicated students who will be memorized by Monday, January 9th. Doing the musical in a month is a huge commitment. It will be one of the highlights of your middle school career, but please know that is it a lot of work. Please carefully look over the rehearsal calendar to see if you can make the musical a priority for six weeks.
I am looking forward to meeting each of you at auditions!
