General Audition Information

Who Can Audition?

Depending upon the specific production, typically anyone ages 5-18 can audition. Frequently, we also look for people with unique talents, including singing, tap dance, stage combat, and/or gymnastics, for certain roles.

What do I Need to Bring to an Audition?

Audition Form. A completed audition form (forms also available at auditions).

Resume. If your previous experience doesn't fit on the audition form, please also provide a resume (click for an example resume). Do not be discouraged if you don't have that much experience. In the past, we have cast all ranges of prior experience in principal roles as well as ensemble.

Photo. Please note, this will not be returned. Providing a photo is critical as we literally typically get well over 100 auditioners (don't let that number discourage you), and we need to easily put a name with a face. Consequently, you will be at a disadvantage if you don't provide a recent, recognizable photo. This does not need to be a fancy head shot. A school picture or digital camera shot taken and printed out merely an hour before you head out for your audition is fine.

Monologue & Song. A prepared monologue and short song (together these should not exceed three minutes).

Monologue Sources. Look to favorite scripts from other shows, or books containing collections of monologues as a resource in coming up with your audition monologue. Some example resources for young performers include: Monologues for Young Actors, Magnificent Monologues for Kids, Magnificent Monologues for Teens, and Audition Monologues: Power Pieces for Kids and Teens

Song Music. If you cannot think of a song, sing "Happy Birthday." If you bring pre-recorded music, please bring it on CD media. Also, your pre-recorded music should not contain vocals (it's very difficult to judge your voice when you are singing over someone else's, particularly a professional singer's, vocals). PLEASE NOTE: we typically do not have an accompanist available at auditions.

What Should I Wear to Auditions?

Wear something comfortable that you can dance in.
