Parent/Adult Cast Information
I realize that myself/my child being chosen for the cast, I will be responsible to make sure I/he/she attends every rehearsal and performance for which I/he/she is scheduled. Any added rehearsal or show conflicts could lead to student being removed from songs/scenes or from the show itself.

In case of illness, I will notify SOPA leadership in advance (info@shineonperformingarts.org or 512-800-1906). In order to ensure the quality of rehearsals and the production, I understand that unexcused absences may result in dismissal from the show. I understand that cast who audition are NOT eligible for any refund. I agree that myself/my child will not attend if ill or within 24 hours of having a fever.

I understand that I will be responsible for personal items (i.e., undergarments, shoes, tights, make-up, hair products, etc). I understand that I will be asked to attend any meetings about the show and will assist with the set, props, costumes, etc as a cast member.

I understand that Cast and Crew from all shows are asked to sell at least 15 tickets for the show they are cast in.

I understand that Cast and Crew from all shows are asked to find at least one Character Sponsor or sell one ad for the program.

I understand that I must take a background check if I am participating in certain committees (Backstage, Sets, Costuming, Hair, Makeup, etc). All students, staff and vounteers aged 18+ must consent to a background check in order to participate with or volunteer on teams that involve underage students.

SOPA Audition Details - Winter 2026
AUDITIONS for our Winter 2026 Spotlight Production of GODSPELL will take place Thursday, December 18th from 5:30pm to 9:00pm at the SHINE ON PERFORMING ARTS AUSTIN STUDIO

Callbacks are - Friday, December 19th from 5:30-9:00pm
POSSIBLE: Saturday, December 20th from 11:00am to 4:30pm

It is essential that you learn to audition the correct way. We will take extra care in ensuring that participants are taught how to choose material, dress, slate and present an audition.

PLEASE SEE THE AUDITION PAGES FOR THE MOST RELEVANT AND UP TO DATE INFORMATION.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREPARE:

1. Choose a SONG to perform.
Please choose a 16 bar cut that showcases your voice and personality. For this audition, please select a song from the show you are auditioning for. Please NO pop/rock songs. The song should have a backing track. Please NO A CAPELLA (no music) and no tracks with lead vocals. We want to hear YOU shine! If you have questions or need assitance, please email info@shineonperformingarts.org. Many backing tracks can be found on youtube under "karaoke" or "instrumental accomaniment". Upbeat songs are recommended.

2. Learn to SLATE!
"Hello, my name is______. I am _____ years old and I am prepared to sing _____________ from Godspell,_____________ from the musical,__________________ and ______________ (monologue) from _____________ (show). My top 3 roles are...

3. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
When practicing, always take a big, deep, grounding breath before you begin. If you forget, don't fret! Just keep going! Be bold! At the end of your audition, be sure to say, "thank you"

4. Wear comfortable, but nice clothing. You want to present your best self for an audition. Pajama or sweat pants, hoodies, very short skirts, camisoles, etc are not a great choice. Be sure to bring your dance shoes and wear clothing you can dance freely in.

What to Expect from Auditions:

The artistic team will watch the auditions, and make the casting decisions. No parents are involved in casting decisions (including parents who are on staff). If the Artistic Team personally instructs students or has personal relationships with the students, they will not weigh in on casting until all other Artistic Team members have spoken about the student first.

SOPA's policy is that we do not give class refunds after a student auditions – our primary goal at SOPA Austin is to develop skills in all aspects of theater arts.

SOPA audition philosophy: "There is a role for every ONE! You just have to find your place to SHINE!”.

Callbacks:
During callbacks, students may be asked to read for the directors, and may sing songs from the show.

Parents, please help your student process the casting decisions – every student experiences joys and disappointments in theater. This is an opportunity to grow!
There is so much that goes in to casting a show. The artistic team takes many things into account. Thank you for trusting us in this process.
