FAQ of the Week:
What happens in the auditions?

What happens in the auditions?
We hold group auditions by grade. That means that you will be reading, and singing, in front of the directors and the other students there with you. After quick warmups, we start scene reading. Each scene in the audition packet calls for several actors. You will be assigned a scene and a part to read and you will get up with the other students in your group and perform it for the directors. We try to give each student the opportunity to read at least twice, time permitting.

Then we break out into voice groups to learn the audition song. Soprano girls, alto girls, and boys will each learn a brief section of one of the songs from the play. Once everyone has had a chance to learn their song, we go back to the auditorium and you will sing it on your own.

Do I have to sing?
No, you do not have to sing. However, if you choose not to sing in your audition, we cannot consider you for a singing role. You may still be cast in the chorus or for a small part with only speaking lines. ​

Do I have to memorize anything?
No! We highly recommend that you read through the audition scenes and listen to the songs before your audition so that you are familiar with them, but you do not have to memorize anything. 

How do I audition for a specific part? I was asked to read lines for a character, does that mean that's who I'll be cast as?
We don't have students audition for particular roles. Instead, we will ask you what kind of part you are interested in - the chorus, a minor role, or a main lead. We may also ask if you have any performing skills such as dance that would be helpful for a certain part. 

​Just because you read one character's lines in the audition, that doesn't mean that you will only be considered for that part! We try to pick audition scenes that showcase a wide variety of roles and talents so we get a good idea of each actor's strengths. But you might read one part and then be cast in a role that wasn't even in the audition packet! The same goes for the songs. Please don't worry too much about which character you think you "should" read for.
