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 and have a short monologue prepared. 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? 

YES, we will teach you a short dance and have a 2 minute or less MONOLOUGE that shows off your acting ability. 

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.

Do I need to Dance?

Yes. We will teach you a short dance when you arrive. If you have TAP or CLOGGING experience please bring your shoes. 

Age Limit to Audition?

Ages 16 and up are welcome to audition for this show. 

 Special Roles for two young men between the ages of 8-12. Actors with tap or clogging experience are preferred for these roles, but anyone is welcome to audition for those two young male parts. 

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 6-8pm and occasional 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. Tap essentials course and Music Sessions will be the last two weeks of October and First week of November. Daily rehearsals on weekdays will begin in mid-November. You can anticipate 3-5 rehearsals until December (depending on role) then EVERYONE will start coming 5 days a week January. 

How do I find out if I'm in the cast?

We will call everybody who is being offered a role to officially offer them their roles before we post the cast list to the Wilson Page.
