    AUDITION AND CASTING
  • IMPORTANT: You must be registered for the production before auditioning.
  • AUDITION INFORMATION: Auditions will take place on the first day of the production. Everyone who auditions is guaranteed a role.
    • Singing Auditions: Singing auditions will be held first. An audition song is required if you are interested in a singing role. If you would like to be considered, please prepare a 30-second a cappella song. You may sing any song of your choice or one from the production.
    • Line Readings: Line readings will follow singing auditions. Line readings are required for auditions and will be organized by age group.
    • Callbacks: Callback line readings will be held after all initial auditions are complete. Please note that only selected participants will be called back.
    • Casting Announcement: The cast list will be announced via email the day after auditions. Every child will receive a role in the production. It takes an ensemble to make a show, and everyone's part is important to the outcome of the production. We value every child equally and have chosen their role with careful consideration in the casting process. The objective of this production is to not only put on an extraordinary performance, but to make friends and have fun.
  • MARK YOUR CALENDAR: If there is a conflict and your child cannot attend certain rehearsal dates please inform the Producing Artistic Director, Tish Poorman, or the Director/Production Coordinator, Kararose Hardman.

  • CANCELLATION & PARTICIPATION POLICY: If for any reason you withdraw (cancel) your child from the production at any time, regardless of how many rehearsals they have attended, or not attended, the registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, in whole or in part, to any other production or any other person other than an immediate family member (brother/sister). Transferring this fee to another child in your immediate family can only be transferred towards the current production and no other production.

  • LATE PICKUP FEE: Rehearsals end at 7:00pm. After 7:00pm, a late fee will be charged at the rate of $10.00 for each 10-minute interval or fraction thereof.
