What to prepare:
Please bring a headshot and resume for every director you plan to audition for. You will also fill out an audition form upon arrival.
If auditioning for any musical: Please prepare EITHER one 16-32 bar cut of a song that shows off your voice OR two 16 bar cuts of songs with OPPOSING styles: this is intended for people who want to audition for both Secret Garden and either of the other two musicals. If you are only auditioning for Footloose and Trailer Park you do not need to sing two different songs. Please use the two songs to show a legit/classical sound versus a pop/rock/belt style sound.
You may be asked to attend group dance auditions, if so you may want a change of clothes or shoes.
If auditioning for a play: Please read each plays requirements. Some directors want you to prepare a monologue and others will just have you read sides at auditions.

What to expect:
-When you arrive you will immediately check in in the Main Stage Lobby where you will be given a number and audition forms to fill out.
-Please fill out an audition form for EACH director you plan to audition for.
-Auditions will be held in order of sign up (your number)
–If auditioning for a musical, you will wait in the lobby until your number is called. You will be brought in in groups of 5 onto the Lloyd Main Stage and will audition for all 3 musical directors. There will be a piano accompanist. When you finish auditioning on the stage you will then go backstage to see if you received a callback or a dance audition for any of the musicals.
–If auditioning for a play, after signing in, you can visit any of the play auditions. Each director will have their own room where they run their individual auditions. Please read descriptions below to figure out what to prepare or expect for each plays auditions.
If you received a call back for a musical or a dance audition:
-Once all musical auditions are completed, an announcement will be made and then dance auditions will be held on the Lloyd Main Stage. You can change into dance gear beforehand if you want to. You will do some across the floor work and learn a small ruetine. We will also have a “mover” dance call so that all levels of skill can show their talent.
-Following the dance call, Musical directors will go to their assigned rooms or areas to hold “callbacks.” These will likely involve reading sides with other actors but could also include additional singing or scales.

*Please note: musical directors can not see anyone for their “callbacks” until after everyone has sung and dance callbacks have been completed. If you are not attending the dance call, or auditioning for any plays, you may have some significant downtime between singing and callbacks.
