This is subject to change due to unforeseen conflicts.

Please take time to review the schedule and when various parts are attending.  If a student accepts a role, they will be expected to attend each and every rehearsal they are called for.  If a student has other commitments that will make attending on time and all the time, we advise not auditioning for the show.

Audition Prep Material:  Role-Specific Auditions

These are the only specific roles we are doing dedicated auditions for.  If you are interested in a role that isn't listed here and it's something other than an ensemble part, we encourage you to pick a role that is similar to the one you want and go for it!  You have the opportunity on the Headshots & Additional Information form to share your hopes and dreams and concerns.

If you are in TK through 3rd grade, you may not register for one of these auditions unless you have already submitted a recommendation from your current teacher attesting that the student is strong and independent reader capable of memorizing lines and lyrics quickly and is consistently well-behaved, needing little to no redirection.

If you do not want any of the featured roles, you should not to participate in Role-Specific Auditions.

If a student has limited availability and cannot attend every rehearsal, do not register for one of these limited slots.

Below are lines for each part and a song to prepare.  If two sets of lines are listed, you need to memorize both.  Sheet music and audio tracks, both with and without lyrics, have also been provided.  It is expected that you have the lines and song memorized and can sing the song without sheet music and to the performance track, without lyrics.

For these roles, we are looking for actors who can portray the very distinct personalities for each persona.  We are looking for those who have developed a character with vocalizations, facial expressions, body and hand movements, and someone who can use the space given.
