Auditions

ATTENTION!!  AUDITION UPDATE!!

Due to some conflicts, we are changing the time of the first audition night.  



Wednesday, December 12 will now be from 4:00-6:00. 



We are moving only the first night of auditions up by an hour. 
December 12 will be from 4:00-6:00.   December 13 will still be from 5:00-7:00. 



Please spread the word of this change in times.  


Learn your dance audition

Megan Birk, our amazing choreographer, has put together a short and perfect dance combo for our auditions.  

1. Don't be intimidated by a dance audition.  Do NOT let it prevent you from auditioning.

2. The video was created so that you could learn the dance prior to audition night so that you might be less nervous.  So practice.  Learn it.  We'll clean up any questions you have during the movement portion of the audition night. 

3. Bring character to the movement.  I'm not looking for amazing dancers. I'm looking for actors who aren't afraid to be bold, silly, and can be confident.

  1. FYI Potential cast members,

    The question has been asked: Will I have to be at every rehearsal?

    The answer: No.

    I will break down the rehearsal schedule to make our rehearsals most efficient by calling only those needed for scenes we'll be working that evening. I try my best to not waste anyone's time.


    Keep the questions and comments coming! Thanks.


    Kayla
