Parent/Cast member 18+ Information
I realize that if myself (over 18) or my child is chosen for the cast, I will be responsible to make sure he/she attends every rehearsal and performance for which 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 students who audition are NOT eligible for a tuition refund. I agree that my child will not attend if ill or within 24 hours of having a fever.

I understand that I will be charged a Production Fee of $100 if cast in this production. I am also responsible for personal items (i.e., undergarments, shoes, tights, make-up, hair products, etc). I understand that I will be asked to attend parent meetings and to volunteer as part of a parent team.

I understand that I must take a background check if I am over 17. 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 2025
AUDITION DETAILS

Please fill out the WINTER 2025 MAIN STAGE AUDITION FORM no later than 01/09/2025 in order to ensure your audition information is entered correctly.

Prepare a one (1) minute from a play or movie of your choice. This monologue must be memorized. Please act out the monologue in full character. Do not just recite.

Submit a headshot - This can be a nice cell phone photo of you. Please have good lighting and a solid background.

Submit a resume - If you have a resume, we ask that you submit it on the audition form. This is STRONGLY encouraged for those auditioning for a lead role.

Be familiar with the show - We will not spend time reading the story/script. We will have cold reads at auditions, but we ask that you come prepared with knowledge of the show and roles you are auditioning for.

Attend the audition masterclass! See the classes tab for more info.

FOR AUDITIONS: Please wear an outfit that shows you are taking this audition seriously. No pajamas, oversized clothing, hoodies, torn jeans, etc. The Artistic Team does notice. Please do not “Disney bound” or cosplay the characters from this show.

FOR CALLBACKS: Please wear comfortable, but nice clothing. Have your hair pulled back out of your face (Male and Female).

What to Expect from Auditions:

Please see the AUDITION pages on the website for the most accuracte and up to date information.

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 refunds after 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.

This show has a very small cast. There are only 16 roles in total. We may double cast. Please know that the Artistic Team weighs every decision fully before making their casting choices. They pray over the entire process and make their decisions based on where they find peace and for the greater picture for the show.

The cast list will be published by January 16th for this Production.

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.
