Which show should 12 or 13-year-olds audition for? Do you take performers under age 7? Sr Cast is for ages 12-18 and for Jr Cast, ages 7-13. 12 or 13 year-olds may choose the show in which they participate. We may direct them to one cast or another based on the needs of the casts. If you need more info. about this, contact Kate Nuttall or Felecia Przybyla.

What happens at auditions? Come prepared with a song and ready to perform lines (see audition tip email sent after signing up).

6 Tips for Auditions:

 1.  Learn about the musical you’re auditioning for.

2.  Pick a song that shows what part you are interested in.

3.  Practice, memorize and add actions appropriate for the song.

4.  Songs should be sung with the instrumental music provided. Performers may not sing to a track with background singers or words. We will have the music ready when they arrive to their audition time.

5. Come prepared to read lines - use good diction, make your voice sound interesting, and speak louder than normal conversation. Memorizing the lines is not required, but can help enhance acting elements during the audition.

6.  Be confident, takes lots of deep breaths, and do your best.
