Acting/Singing Auditions are in 15-minute increments (See sign-up for specific times)
Dance Auditions are September 24 @ 8:00 and September 25 @ 9:00. (Each session is an hour.) Dance Auditions are not needed for actors under 18 years old.
Callbacks will be held by invitation on Saturday, September 28 from 8AM-NOON by invitation only. Callbacks will also be held at Cedar Ridge.
Children 8 years and older are welcome to audition. We will not be auditioning children under the age of 8.
Those auditioning will be asked to sing thirty seconds of a Broadway/musical theatre song in the style of A Christmas Carol. For those who are unfamiliar with this production, the music is by Alan Menkin of Disney musical and movie fame (if that is helpful.) Please sing something from a broadway musical rather than a traditional Christmas song. We highly encourage performers to select a song that not only shows off your vocal ability but also shows character and personality. You should also prepare one of the provided acting sides. Not all roles have provided sides, please choose one that you feel will show your acting skill.
An accompanist will be available as well as aux chords & Bluetooth speaker. NO ACAPELLA SINGING
Video auditions will be accepted. Submissions must be emailed to fourseasonstheatre@gmail.com by Wednesday, September 25. Use CHRISTMAS CAROL AUDITION in the subject line so that your email is not overlooked. Please include a copy of your audition form and conflicts in the email. Please be advised that in-person auditions are always to the advantage of the performer.
Those auditioning for adult ensemble must attend one of the two dance sessions and need to plan to stay the entire hour. These are to see both dance ability and movement as well as an opportunity to see how performers take direction. Please DRESS APPROPRIATELY for the dance audition. We recommend wearing clothes you can dance freely in and that won’t hinder your movement. Appropriate footwear such as dance shoes and gym shoes are also recommended. There are restrooms available to those who might need to change.
While waiting for your dance audition we recommend stretching and preparing your body for movement.
Please fill out the AUDITION FORM and attach a headshot, a copy of your performance resume and a complete list of personal conflicts from October 1-December 14. Please put an F next to flexible conflicts.
