What to Prepare:
All Auditioners must prepare THREE items:
1. Sides (character lines from the show) for a character*
​
2. Sides from a SECOND character
​
3. A song to be song a cappella (with no backup music)
*Sides are available below
Sides
Choose TWO characters to read at the audition
-Lines do not need to be memorized. We'd love it(!), but it's not necessary. HOWEVER, auditioners should be EXTREMELY FAMILIAR with the text that they'll be reading.
​
-Auditioners WILL be allowed to bring their sides with them on stage to audition.
​
-Depending on time, there's a strong possibility that we may only have time for the auditioner to read ONE of their sides. But please prepare TWO characters just in case!
​
-We don't have sides available for ALL of the characters in the show. Please pick the sides that you feel will give you enough material to really show us what you've got!
We'll ask you about your actual role preference at the audition.
​
-When casting, we are Gender Neutral. Any actor can play any role, regardless of the actor's or character's gender.
(When auditioning, the teachers will read all of the other characters' lines.
For example: If you're auditioning for "Genie", then the *YOU* will read all of Genie's lines, while the teachers will read all of Aladdin's lines.)
Song
Prepare ONE song to sing a cappella
-Auditioners are required to sing a song from "Aladdin". A few of the popular songs from this show are available below.
​
-Auditioners will sing a cappella (with no backup music). Make sure to practice this way before the audition!
​
-We ask that you prepare 30 seconds to 1 minute of your song. For the sake of time, we will stop you after one minute.
​
-Another piece of advice: If you really want to play a character... sing one of their songs for us! How are we going to know how awesome you are, if you don't show us?!

Examples from "Aladdin"
Callbacks
For some auditioners, the teachers will ask them to come back on Friday so they can see some more.
The Callback List will be posted HERE.
The List will be posted on the evening of Tuesday, March 5th
At the Callbacks, auditioners will be given Sides to read with the other auditioners. They will also sing for the teachers again.
​
Auditioners will need to prepare and sing specific song selections for the characters that they're called back for. Here are the songs that we ask that they prepare:

Please note:
Being called back for a certain role does not mean that you are ONLY in consideration for this singular role. The casting process is a strange beast, and you never know what will happen!
