No absences are allowed for the two weeks of tech. No conflicts will be approved during tech week or show week. All tech rehearsals, dress rehearsals and performances are mandatory for cast members. Too many conflicts or the timing of conflicts could keep you from being cast.
Audition Requirements: (Please read all instructions)
- Download the audition form and waivers from our website. Fill them out and bring them to your audition. (No need for a resume or headshot. We will take your photo at the audition.) All forms must be fully completed and turned in before auditioning.
- Please prepare 16 bars (30 seconds) of any musical theater song. The auditioner is responsible for having their song downloaded on their own device. This should be an mp3 karaoke track with NO VOCALS on it.
*No sheet music, flash drives or CDs.
**No wifi available. Please do not try to stream from your phone as service is unpredictable. Make sure the song is downloaded.
***Accepted devices include ipads, ipods, iphones, android phones, tablets
****We will have the available adaptors for your devices: Apple lightning adapter,
Aux Cord, & USB-C
- Check in 15 minutes prior to your scheduled audition time. Example: I sign up for a 6:00 p.m. audition. I will check in with all my paperwork at 5:45 p.m. We will start choreography 10 minutes prior to your audition time. If you are late, we may be unable to move you to another audition time.
- Please be prepared to learn a Choreography combination. Remember this when picking out your outfit. No flip flops or Crocs please.
Attendance Policy:
We will take conflicts into consideration when casting. A conflict is any time you will miss rehearsal, be late or leave early. This includes work, school, family events, concerts, vacations, church activities, etc.
Every absence must be approved prior to the missed rehearsal. We allow up to three excused absences. These are dates that are listed on your audition form prior to casting.
We do not allow any of these absences to be two weeks before tech week, during tech week, dress rehearsals or performance days. Constant tardiness or leaving early will count as a conflict. Approval of conflicts is solely up to the Director.
Any unexcused absences are subject to removal from numbers/scenes or the show all together. An unexcused absence is a no show, no call or any absence not previously approved by the Director.
Fees:
There will be a $50 fee due per cast member or a $25 fee AND volunteer for 3 hours. This fee will help us with the costs of putting on this production.
Cast members will be responsible for providing pieces of their own costume. These could/will include: Underdressings, footwear, hosiery, make-up, etc.
Scripts/Materials:
All scripts/music/materials must be returned by the final performance date (November 30th). Any late returns or damaged materials will result in a $50 fee. No exceptions.
Fine Print
- Rehearsals are closed to friends and family. Only cast & crew will be allowed in rehearsals.
- No one will be allowed backstage except for scheduled volunteers, stage crew and the performing cast.
- Not everyone who auditions will get a callback.
- You may still be in the cast even if you did not receive a callback.
- Cast list will be posted on our website.
