Audition Information for grades K-10 Participating in a Musical, Play, or Junior Musical

Audition Information

Auditions help our directorial team get to know each actor and determine the best placement of roles.

All performers registered for the production are Cast Members and will be assigned a role.

Auditions are held privately with the directorial team.

What to Prepare

Actors should be prepared to:

• Slate: Clearly state your full name, monologue title/source, and song selection.

• Perform a short memorized monologue — approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• Sing the audition song with the provided instrumental track.

• Perform a short dance combination using choreography provided in advance.

• Read scenes (sides) from the script. Younger actors may read or repeat lines with help from the director.

• Try a dialect if requested for a particular character.

• Optional: Share a joke or special skill such as gymnastics, dance, martial arts, instruments, or another performance skill.

A Few Things to Know

Please come into auditions open to the possibilities of the production rather than expecting a particular role. Every role contributes to telling the story, and we encourage actors to embrace the part they are given.

Some roles may be shared or split between actors. In these cases, an actor may perform the role in certain performances and appear in a featured ensemble or supporting role in others.

Actors may be asked to portray a character of any gender. Unless otherwise noted on the audition form, all participants may be considered for any role.
