Audition Preparation
- Fill out the Google Form with your school email address. This must be completed before Monday, December 1st. It contains questions important to the casting process and permission forms required to be involved in this production.
- Read the script
- Prepare audition materials – you will perform all three of these skills at auditions. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t great at all three—-we want to know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses so we can cast you properly. Just be prepared and try to do each of them—-that is a more castable skill than anything else.
Acting Audition Material Sides
