Join us at the Assembly Theatre for our upcoming audition workshop! Whether you want to be better prepared when going into auditions, relieve audition anxiety, or simply want to test out some new audition material, this is the workshop for you!
Throughout this workshop, we will be going over topics such as:
-What to bring to auditions
-How to best prepare for auditions
-What to expect at auditions
-How to set yourself apart
-What the production staff wants to see
Following the discussion of these topics, we will have signups open for mock auditions and cold reads, giving participants the opportunity to test out their audition materials and receive feedback from directors. So, if you would like to bring in a song and/or monologue to workshop, you are encouraged to do so!
The attendance fee for this workshop is $15, and will take place on March 2nd from 5pm – 8pm. We hope to see you there!
Join us under the sea for our production of The Little Mermaid JR.! We cannot wait to bring this classic ~tail~ to life and make a splash!
In a magical underwater kingdom, a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.
​
Auditions will be held on March 24th and 26th from 6-8:30, with rehearsals beginning on April 14th. Rehearsals will be Mondays and Thursdays from 6-8, and Sundays from 1-4, beginning on May 4th. (Please note that Monday and Thursday rehearsals will change to 6-8:30 in the weeks leading up to the performance dates.) Tech week is July 27th - July 31st with rehearsals each night. There will be a total of 4 performances from August 1st to August 3rd . All tech rehearsals and performances are MANDATORY.
The age range for this production is 6- to 18-years-old. For auditions, we ask that you bring in a headshot or recent photo as well as a resume (if you have one). For your vocal performance, please prepare a portion of a song that fits within 30-60 seconds along with a karaoke track. We will have a speaker at auditions to connect to, but you are more than welcome to bring your own speaker, as well. Following vocal auditions, there will be cold reads of scenes from the show.
There is a $100 production fee for each actor who joins our cast. If there are siblings in the cast, the first sibling will have a production fee of $100, and every other sibling will have a production fee of $75. If this is not financially feasible, feel free to reach out about our performance scholarships.
