PART 2

Dance Audition

The Choreographer will take you through a basic routine and then you will perform it on your own in a group setting.

PART 3

Paired Readings and Singing

There will be additional readings with various cast member combinations. We will also have actors do some additional improvisation/acting to get a sense of the best possible role for them, as well as do some various pairing for readings and singing.

Auditions - Offering & Acceptance of Roles

1. Offering of roles

   We will contact families and cast members to offer them various roles in the show, and provide some more information about the role.

2. Accepting/Declining of Roles

   Families will be contacted by phone and given the news their child has been offered the role. We will follow up with an email with links to formally accept or decline the role. Typically 24 hours to accept/reject their role, at which time we will make additional casting/role calls/decisions and continue until all the roles are filled.
