Audition Information

Auditioning is the first step in joining one of our productions. Whether you’re brand-new to theater or an experienced performer, we work hard to make the process welcoming, educational, and fun.

Who Can Audition?

  • MainStage Shows: Open to 2nd–12th grade performers.

  • Rising Star Program: 1st–4th grade performers, students do not need to audition unless they want a lead or featured role.

What to Expect:

  • Friendly Environment: Our auditions are designed to help students feel comfortable and confident.

  • Prepared Material: Students will be asked to perform a short excerpt from a song, monologue, and learn a short dance combination.

  • Time Commitment: Most auditions take about 5–10 minutes per performer.

Tips for a Great Audition:

  • Prepare a Short Monologue: A 30–60 second monologue (memorized) that shows your personality and acting ability. You only have to prepare a monologue if you wish to audition for a lead role (speaking / singing solo).

  • Choose a Song That Fits You: Pick a 16–32 bar selection that highlights your voice and character.

  • Practice Reading Lines: Be ready for a short cold read with expression and confidence.

  • Dress to Impress (and Move): Wear something neat and comfortable for singing and light movement.

  • Arrive Early: Check in, warm up, and take a few minutes to breathe before your turn.

  • Bring Your Best Self: We want to see your personality shine!

Do I Need Experience?

No experience is required. We welcome beginners and seasoned performers alike. Our goal is to help every student learn, grow, and have fun throughout the process.

Casting Process:

  • Callbacks: Some students may be invited to a callback audition for lead or featured roles. This is an additional opportunity for the creative team to see specific skills (acting, singing, or dance).

  • Lead and featured roles are given to students based on performance, preparation, and fit for the role.

  • Casting decisions are posted within a few days after auditions.
