How do I Audition?
Please come to the Theatre during one of the TWO auditions days during the time frames listed. Please prepare a 90 second song to sing. It can be ANYTHING that showcases your talents and your abilities. Fill out the audition form (front and back) with all the information and then come audition.
Do I need to prepare anything else?
No, we will teach you a short dance and have you read lines for us. All you need to have prepared in advance is your song.
​
Audition Song Tips?
Please use a backing track (you can get them from YouTube for free). Please bring your backing track on a device that can BLUETOOTH for you to sing along to. You don't need to cut your music. You can just stop or have it fade out after the 90 seconds. A piano will be available but PLEASE bring your own accompanist.
​
Audition Forms?
We will have those ready for you to fill out at auditions, PLEASE make sure to fill out every box with all the information. This is vital information that can determine if you get a part or not. For example, dates you would be unavailable, parts you are willing to accept etc.
​
What if I will be gone during a show date?
Sadly, we can't rearrange the show dates, so if you are unavailable for a show date, this might not be the time to audition for a show. Attendance will also be required for Tech/Dress rehearsals June 9th-18th.
​
What do rehearsals look like?
Typically, rehearsals are during the week (Mon-Fri) from 7-9pm and Saturdays
from 9-noon. A schedule will be determined once a cast has been chosen. Unless arrangements have been made, we expect ALL cast to be at their scheduled rehearsals.
​
Age Limit to Audition?
ALL ages are welcome to audition.
​
Do I need to Dance?
Some characters will require a dance audition while others will not. Please see the CHARACTER information list below.
​
How do I find out if I'm in the cast?
The cast list will be posted on this website. Please also follow all the Wilson Theatre social media pages for updates and more information.
