be considered. We are looking for prepared, hard-working, and energetic performers. The

Students should be prepared for the possibility of being called back, should we wish to
see more. Nothing will need to be prepared for callbacks, all the materials will be
provided upon arrival.

discouraged!

How to have a successful audition
-Focus. Show that you are here to create a great show, not just to have a great time with
your friends.
-Be prepared. We need to see that you can learn material and perform it.
-Relax. Everyone you are auditioning for has had to audition for something or other. We
know how nervous it can make you. We are on your side and want you to succeed just as
much as you do. Breathe and do what you can do!
-Be loud and energetic while performing. We need to be able to hear you clearly and see
you be expressive.
-Be respectful and supportive of others who are auditioning when it is not your turn. Do
not talk to your friends during the auditions.
