WHAT TO PREPARE

Due to the continuing challenges from the pandemic, we will not hold in-person auditions this spring. Auditionees should submit video auditions. 

The video audition should consist of two short contrasting monologues. The monologues do not need to be from a play for children. For those interested in the musicals, substitute one of the monologues for a song or excerpts from two songs. 

Please use the following link which will take you to a form where you can submit your video auditions, as well as your headshot and resume. You will have options on how to submit your video, as well as information on what to do if you are unable to put together an audition video. 

Note: digital headshot and resume  is required.
