Students may audition for each role they meet the requirements for. If a student is auditioning for multiple roles, they will register for all roles during the first appropriate time slot.
If cast in any company production, students will pay a $225 participation fee ($30 registration fee plus $195 flat fee) to cover the rehearsal hours and costume rentals.
Required Shoe Purchase
- All students cast in Alice (in Wonderland) must purchase a pair of ballet shoes that will be dyed to match their costume.
- For the roles that require pointe shoes, a $100 stipend will be extended to the purchase of new pointe shoes that will be dyed. Families will need to purchase shoes and turn in the receipt at which point, a $100 check will be made out to the family.
- Exact details on the type of shoe (canvas vs leather, etc.) will be shared with the students' cast.
