Frequently Asked Questions

Approximately an hour and a half. The children learn a song and a dance that they may use at their audition. While they are learning the song and dance, parents can take the opportunity to sign up for an audition time, either an individual time or a group audition.  Individual auditions last approximately 5 minutes. The Group audition is one hour.

Yes, they can but the audition panel will stick to the five minute time limit.  They must bring their own music if they require accompaniment from our keyboardist.  Keep in mind that the songs chosen by the staff for auditions are specifically chosen in order to see if your child will be able to sing or dance to the music in our production which may be a different genre or format from what your child has prepared.

Attend the Information Night and the sign up process will be explained.  We are moving to an outline process that parents will be able to access immediately and information will be posted to our Facebook page following the information night for those who do not attend.

Yes, we will have form online that you will be able to download and complete prior to coming in for your audition.  The information required will be things such as name, age, parents names (or guardians, babysitters, or others responsible for the child during the audition time-line) and all related contact information, previous show experience, and potential activity conflicts.  There will also be a consent signature required for a head shot photo which we use during the casting process to remind us of your child as we are often auditioning more than 100 children.

A callback is another part of the audition process that assists the staff with casting decisions. Your child may be asked to a callback for more singing, dancing, or reading so that more specific requirements for casting the roles may be assessed by the show staff. Call-backs can last an hour or can be all day. If your child receives a callback note, the time that they are required to be there will be on the sheet. They may require a lunch/snack if they will be there all day. This will be clearly written on the note. Some call-backs may be decided after all individual and group auditions are completed.  Communication for this will be via email or phone using the contact information you provide on the audition form.
