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.
I am a parent, can I stay during auditions? Parents should feel free to stay in the building during auditions, but are not allowed in the audition room with students. All of our auditions and rehearsals are closed to the public. We understand that your student may get nervous during the audition, there is typically a 5 minute break between the vocal and dance calls where they can step out of the room and speak to you if need be.
Are there online auditions? Due to the nature of these auditions, we will not be offering an online audition option.
What should I bring? Should I prepare anything? We will learn most audition material AT the audition. Auditionees are asked to prepare a one minute dramatic monologue for day 3. You should wear comfortable clothing, closed-toed shoes, and bring water each day. 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? There is a VERY low chance that any callbacks will be needed for this show. 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.
