Bring your marked sheet music to the audition; an accompanist will be provided.
Dance: Marie, our choreographer, has created two short videos - (1) to teach (2) finished routine, front and back view - to demonstrate a brief dance combination for each auditionee to be prepared to present in small groups at the initial audition.
THESE VIDEOS ARE UNLISTED ON YOUTUBE: Use the links below to access them (and do not share links with anyone else or on social media, etc.):

CALLBACKS:
Those asked to attend callbacks for specific roles will have time to read scene selections, and learn brief passages from the score. There may also be a second dance selection for certain principals and potential featured dancers.
SPECIAL SKILLS:
Annie Get Your Gun is set in the vibrant world of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show! So we encourage auditionees who have such skills as juggling, tumbling, acrobatics, and more! Please indicate such skills on your audition form and - yes - be prepared for a little demonstration at your audition.
