AUDITION INFORMATION
Auditions are open to anyone 16 years of age or older (or turning 16 in 2023). Auditions will take place at Ascension Dance at 530 Victoria Ave, Suite E and F beginning Saturday July 8th at 2:00pm, and Sunday, July 9th beginning at 2:00pm. We will be assigning auditioners a time slot for either 2:00pm or for 3:00pm so that auditioners won’t have to wait.
Call backs (if needed) will be the afternoon of Tuesday, July 11th. If you are interested in auditioning, please fill out the audition form. We are asking all prospective auditionees for the lead roles to prepare the following:
- One section of a musical theatre song of your choice that you feel best showcases your vocal ability, approximately one minute in length (or about one verse and one chorus). You may bring your own sheet music or accompaniment track. A Capella auditions will not be accepted.
- One of the provided musical sections from a song in the show, selected based on the character for whom you are most in auditioning (if you’re interested in multiple characters, please select one musical section). For those auditioning for the ensemble, please select one of the two sections provided. Musical Sections can be accessed at: https://drive.google.com/…/1rq33p8lQ07…/view…
For those interested in the Chorus, auditioners may choose to prepare either one or both of the song choices listed above.
Some auditionees may be asked to do a vocal range test or a cold read after their vocal audition. All auditionees will need to participate in the dance call, either before or after their vocal audition. Please make sure you wear comfortable clothing that you can move in easily and bring a pair of indoor shoes with you (running shoes, jazz shoes, or ballet shoes are fine. No socks or bare feet please). Auditionees who are asked to come in for call backs will be notified Monday evening after auditions are complete.
