Auditions

Auditions are required in order to assess each individual actor’s comfort level as a performer, evaluate their skills and find the role that will best fit their personality and talent.

General Audition Information for Musicals

What to Expect

Each participant will sing a musical theatre song of their choice, perform an excerpt of the script (provided by the director), and learn a short dance combination with a group. The program supervisor, choreographer, music director/accompanist, and director, as well as other actors auditioning in the same group, may be present during auditions.

What to Prepare

All participants should prepare 1 minute of a musical theatre song. Sheet music must be provided by the participant. The music should be hole-punched within a binder for the piano accompanist. Please ensure that sheet music has a vocal line as well as a line for the accompaniment below it. If you need assistance with music, contact David Zizic.
