Every child who is able to commit to the rehearsal and performance schedule will be cast in the show. We do NOT cut any child from the production. For the “audition” and “callback” process, we strive to make every child feel relaxed and comfortable.

Audition Process
The first “audition” is private. Your child will sing for the director, stage manager, and musical director. They can sing a song from a show they have already appeared in, they can sing a song they have learned in school, or they can sing a section of a song they choose provided they bring the sheet music for the musical director to play from (usually about 32 measures). Song suggestions include the following age appropriate pieces: Do-Re-Me (The Sound of Music), My Favorite Things (The Sound of Music), I Won’t Grow Up (Peter Pan), Tomorrow (Annie), etc.

Callback Process
Every child will be invited to “callbacks”. At the callbacks, which are held in small groups, students will be taught some musical excerpts from the show and will be asked to read some lines from the show. The entire callback process is supportive and encouraging. It is NOT competitive.

Preparation
Although a child does not need to prepare for the audition and callback process, they may want to practice their audition song. In addition, they can familiarize themselves with the music and dialogue by watching the movie version of the show.

Classes
Musical Theatre classes participation fees vary based on sessions. Participation fees for classes can be found on the registration form!
