“Oliver!”
Open auditions will be held on Sunday, September 7, 2008 from 1:00-5:00pm.
New to Auditions?
This is how it works:
When you arrive at the audition you will be given an Audition Packet
containing an audition form, sample rehearsal schedule, requirements
if you are cast in the show and some information concerning the play itself.
After you have read the entire packetyou will form out the form and turn
it in to the Audition Manager. You may be called right away or, depending
on the number ofpeople, you may have to wait a little while. If you are auditioning
for a principle role, you will most likely be called alone. Ifyou are auditioning
as part of a group, (chorus, children, etc.),you will be called in a small group.
If this is the case you willbe taught a lyric from the show and after a few practice times,
the Director will hear you sing individually. Next your group may go to the choreographer
to learn a short dance combination. Once again, you will practice a few times and then
be asked to do it individually. (This is generally a good deal of fun and should not worry anyone!)
If necessary, the Director may ask you to read something from the script. (If you are auditioning
for a principle role you may be asked to sing and read several times.) Please do not leave
the audition without informing the Audition Manager.
