GENERAL INFO

AUDITION TIPS:

• Be very familiar with the lines in the scene or scenes. You don't have to memorize, but it's important that you don't sound like you're reading.

• Be sure to have expression in your voice.

• Make sure we can hear you.

• Do not over act. Don't be fake. Don't use silly hand or body gestures. Be real! Make the character as real as possible so that we believe you are the character.

What will the audition be like?

• Arrive a little earlier than 10:00 a.m.

• When you enter the building, you will be given an audition form to fill out. 

• There will be about a 15-minute meeting with everyone before we begin the auditions to go over all of the general information about the show.

• We will take 10 (ten) people at a time to audition. Each group will spend about 20 minutes in the audition room. When you go back to the audition room, it will be Mr. Butler and his assistant director in the room with the group. You are not auditioning in front of tons of people - just the people in your group, the director and assistant director.

• You will either read with a "reader" or someone in your group.

• When your group is finished, you will be free to go! 

• The director will notify anyone he needs to see for a Callback audition. Typically, the director likes to bring back actors for another look, to see how they read with other actors, and narrow down who fits each role the best. Callbacks will be on Sunday, August 24 that 2:00 p.m. at The Rep.

• The cast will be announced on Monday, August 25th on our website and on Facebook. If you are cast in the show, you will be told when the first rehearsal will take place.
