Important Message to All Who Auditioned
|
Thank you for auditioning! You should all be proud that you were able to stand in front of a group of strangers and perform. It is not an easy thing to do, but you all did it! We would love to cast all of you. Unfortunately, every show has a size limit, as does the stage.
Please be aware that only the casting team (directors, music directors, and choreographers) are involved in the casting process. If members of the board or casting team have family members auditioning, they are not allowed to weigh in on their audition or their casting in any way. For those of you who are not on the cast list, keep trying! If you love theatre, don't give up – don't be discouraged! If you were not cast, we hope to see you in the audience Sept. 19-21, and at auditions this winter for our next musical (performances will be June 19-21, 2026)! For those in the ensembles, you will be singing, dancing, and acting throughout this show! This production is full of great ensemble song and dance numbers. We're going to have a ton of fun rehearsing and performing this show! You'll have a great time, make new friends, and you'll allow others who may be directing future shows to get to know you and see what you can do. Whether you realize it or not, every show is an "audition" for future shows. Finally, don't look at the cast list as an indication of your level of talent. A lot of very talented actors have been cast in smaller roles or ensemble roles, and in some cases, not cast at all. Theatre is a funny world. Unlike sports, where the best athletes make the team, casting a show isn't a straight-forward competition. In theatre, being the best actor/singer/dancer doesn't automatically mean that you get a lead role. Casting is more about choosing the people who are "right" for a role. It's also about choosing people who "fit" well with the other actors. Sometimes it comes down to merely being "too tall" or otherwise not having the general "look" that the director envisioned for the role. Successful actors treat each role, no matter how "small," as an opportunity to learn and improve their skills. |

Where Can I Get More Information on Auditions?
May I Audition Via Video?
Video auditions are not ideal, and will likely put you at a disadvantage versus auditioning in person and interacting with the other auditioners and the casting board. However, we understand that sometimes your schedule may not provide any other option. Consequently, video audition submissions may be accepted with the following pre-requisites:
- You will be out of town or have some other extenuating circumstance preventing you from attending in person for all open audition dates.
- You have obtained prior permission from the Producer and Director to audition via video.
- Your video submission must be received by noon on the last day of open auditions and include links to song, monologue, and dance videos.
- Your Audition Form with conflicts (from the database) and a headshot must also be emailed or received via USPS by the last day of open auditions.
Are you interested in being part of the Stage/Technical Crew?
If you are interested in being part of the Stage and/or Technical Crew, and are between the ages of 12 and 112, please e-mail us at [email protected], and use the subject header: "Stage Ninja".
