Auditions

How It’ll Run:

Auditions will run in individual 5-10 minute, closed time slots with sign up pre-registration forms. Auditionees will sing their song and perform their monologues in the individual solos, with a group dance audition at the end of the night.

What We Want to See:

• Vocal Audition: 30 seconds-1 minute song selection of their choice NOT from Mary Poppins that best suits their vocal range and fits the role that they are auditioning for. A capella auditions accepted; we strongly prefer a piece with music accompaniment and will provide an accompanist at auditions. Music is not required to be memorized, but we welcome memorized pieces.
• Acting Audition: 1-3 minute monologue NOT from the show that best suits the range and characterization of the role from the show that you are auditioning for. Again, this does not need to be memorized, but we do encourage memorized pieces.
• Dance Audition: Group dance audition after individual solo auditions are over.

Callbacks:

As needed at the Shack on Wed. Aug. 22, 6:30 PM. Callbacks will consist of cold reading selected sides from the show, individual vocal auditions with songs from the show, and individual/small group dance auditions.

Getting Cast in the Show: *All auditionees will receive a phone call regardless of whether or not they’ve been cast, notifying them of the final casting decisions. These calls will be made throughout Aug. 23-24.

First Rehearsal: Mon.Aug. 27 at 6:30 PM at the Shack.

If you are unable to make in-person auditions: We strongly recommend all auditionees sign up for an in-person time slot on the audition dates; however will consider video auditions for individuals who would be traveling from a significant distance away on a case by case basis. If you are interested in this option, please email Tana De Lonay, the artistic director, at tanadelonay@yahoo.com.

*Scripts will be available for perusal at the Portage County Public Library shortly
