Preparation: Please prepare a song, approx 1 minute long (we would prefer a backup track or karaoke accompaniment, but it's not required) & come dressed to be able to move comfortably to music. (please bring shoes to change in to if you are wearing snow boots)
We will be having each person sing their prepared song first, then do some easy dance moves next, then we may have you read parts from the script. Vocal auditions will be in a group setting. Please contact us if you’d like to sing privately & we will set up a time.
If cast, rehearsals will be Mon, Tues, & Thurs from 6:00-8:30pm (rehearsal will run later in the evening 2 weeks before the show opens). Rehearsals start 2/3/25, that first rehearsal will have a mandatory parent & actor meeting the first ½ hour so that we can get info out & get cast measurements for costuming.
The performance dates are: May 2 (7pm),3 (7pm),4 (3pm). 9 (7pm),10 (7pm),11 (3pm) You must be present at all performances & all tech & dress rehearsals (required rehearsals: 4/28-5/1).
