About Our Show:
From musical theatre greats, Stephen Schwartz and John Caird, comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! Adam, Eve, Noah and the "Father" who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. As generations pass, faith and loyalty are tested, but the bonds of family and love remain strong.

New Spark Policies:
Please note that when listing conflicts, the answers of "none at the moment" or "none at this time" are not acceptable. If you plan on signing up for any sport or auditioning for any show whose schedule you are unclear of, please do not audition.
- All cast must be off-book by the first rehearsal. Off book at NSPA means familiarity with music and knowing all lines. If any cast member fails to arrive off-book, it may lead to removal from the show or recasting of roles.
- Children of Eden JR: Cast is allowed 5 scheduled conflicts during rehearsal. Leads (Father, Adam, Eve, Noah, Cain, Abel, Yonah) may only miss 3 rehearsals. There are absolutely no conflicts allowed during tech or for our first rehearsal. Conflicts must be submitted either on the audition form or via email before rehearsals begin. Our rehearsal schedule will be binding. Missing rehearsals that aren't pre-established conflicts (or emergencies) may result in removal or recasting.
- JTF 2024: Cast is allowed 3 scheduled conflicts during the entire JTF rehearsal process. There are no conflicts allowed for the week leading up to the festival (Jan 2-10). Conflicts must be submitted either on this form or by email before rehearsals begin. Our rehearsal schedule for JTF will be binding. Due to multiple intricate parts of the piece that will require all-hands-on-deck, missing rehearsals that aren't pre-established conflicts (or emergencies) will not result in removal from the trip, but will result in removal from parts of the piece.
Please note that when listing conflicts, the answers of "none at the moment" or "none at this time" are not acceptable. If you plan on signing up for any sport or auditioning for any show whose schedule you are unclear of, please do not audition.

Audition FAQs:
What time should I get there? Will I have to stay the whole time? You should arrive 10-15 minutes early. Auditionees will be asked to check in, and then wait outside or in the lobby until the audition starts. You will need to stay for the entire audition slot you sign up for.
Should I audition online or in-person? Online auditions (when offered) are only recommended for either college students who will not be in town for auditions, or those who have serious conflicts on our audition date(s). Though all auditions will be considered, if you are available to audition in-person, is it preferred by the casting director to come audition in-person.
What should I bring? Should I prepare anything? We will learn all audition material AT the audition. It is good to research the show so that you know the plot and descriptions of the characters you're auditioning for, but you won't have to learn anything in advance. You should wear comfortable clothing, closed-toed shoes, and bring water. Please do not bring headshots or resumes.
Will I have to sing / dance in front of others? Yes. Our auditions are cattle-call style, meaning the entire group will learn the dances and songs together, then do their group and solo auditions in front of one another. We encourage a supportive audition environment.
Will there be callbacks? How will I know if I got in or not? We typically do not have callbacks unless they are 100% necessary. Everyone will receive an email whether they got in or not, letting them know. The email will come within one week of the audition. If callbacks are required, we will email all those called back! Not receiving a callback does not mean that you are not being cast, it just means that a decision was already made for you.
