MUSICAL THEATRE AUDITION INFORMATION

Auditions for the Musical Theatre Production Class will be held Wednesday, August 16 from 5-7PM in the Rogers Theatre.

Those wishing to audition will need to register for the class and pay the $30 registration fee in order to attend.  (The $30 registration fee will be applied toward the balance of the Musical Theatre Production class should your child be cast.  Those not cast may have the fee refunded to them or applied to the balance of another class.)

Auditioners are asked to prepare 16 bars (roughly 30-45 seconds) of a song from a musical of their choice (with accompaniment provided by the auditioners via phone or tablet.)  Otherwise, auditions will be conducted by cold-reading (and a short dance combination will be taught, so they will need to be sure to wear clothing they can move in and shoes that firmly affix to the feet - no flip flops.)
