3. Recent photo of yourself... may be a copy. Staple the photo last in the packet facing outward so that when the director flips the packet over, the director will be seeing your photo.

Callback Auditions
Wed, Feb 15 6:00-8:00pm
CallbacksNote: All directors use callback auditions uniquely. Some call back very few and others call back many. A callback does not ensure casting. Not being called back does not mean that one won’t be cast. Many times casting decisions are made in initial auditions with no call back audition needed.
Audition Prep
Music:
Prepare a selection of music16 bars/up to one minute long
Preferably memorized

Please: No "Rent," "Wicked," or "Aida" – Disney Songs Great!

All auditioners will be singing with piano accompaniment rather than a cappella
Dance:
Auditioners will be taught a short dance combination.

Acting:

Auditions may also involve cold readings from the script
Forms:
