If any callbacks are needed or if any auditionees need to be seen further, they will be asked to stay for the third segment of the audition day at 10:30 AM. It is important that you are very clear on your audition form which shows/roles interest you, if you will accept any role, and if you will accept certain roles only, as this is extremely important in this audition process. It is also of essence that you act/perform your song selection, as well as showcase your personality in your dancing. You are auditioning from the moment you hit the door, whether you realize it or not, so show their production team your absolute best during your entire visit. 8-8:45 AM Teach “A Chorus Line” choreography to auditionees for all musicals (“Chorus Line,” “Side Show,” “Spitfire Grill,” “Forum,” “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’”) 8:45-9 AM See all auditionees dance 9-10:30 AM Learn songs for all auditionees 10:30 AM Any callbacks needed See the attachment for details. Please apply if interested.
