On Friday you will sign up at the table and get a number, then wait for a turn to come in. You should look neat and tidy, not sloppy. You don't need to dress up like a character, wear makeup, or do anything crazy. Just show up with a smile, hair brushed, and shirt tucked in like you're ready to do your thing! You might have to wait a few minutes, but try to come 10 minutes early, just in case!
When you go in the gym for auditions, there will be a table with 3-4 judges. Each of them is a director, choreographer, and actor at Centerpoint Legacy Theater or Hale Center Theater. They are all very nice and like working with kids. They want you to succeed! Don't stress that they are strangers!
You will sit down in your number order on the steps and one by one will sing and read your side. The judges will smile and write notes on your audition form and might ask you a question. Then you will get to go out in the hall and wait with other auditioners.
The judges will call back small groups of kids to read other dialogues together. They will mix up different kids (boys and girls together) reading different parts. They might line you up in height to see who is the tallest. You might sing or read one time or many times, or with many people. They will try things out as they go. You will be excused to the hall and some people might be asked to wait longer, and others excused to go home. If you are excused to go home, don't stress about it! If you stay longer, don't stress about it! The judges just want to do a good, thorough job casting the show. If you need to call or text your mom or dad, there will be an adult with the phone. Bring something to do so you won't get bored. Running in the halls is not allowed.
The judges will assemble their cast list at the end of the afternoon and give it to Laurie Leishman. She will use that information to split up everyone else into two casts. The list will be posted on the last day of school before school break. Make sure to look at the website to see the list!
Have fun and BREAK A LEG! :)
