Actors will enter the room, slate, and then they can choose whether to sing or act first. There will be Readers in the room to perform with. You will be performing for Mrs. Lindsay, Ms. Schuitema, and Ms. Laurel.
Slate: This is your introduction. Please slate with your name, Grade, and Characters you will be playing in the order you will be playing them. For example:
“Hi! I’m Shannon Lindsay and I’m in 12th grade. I’ll be performing Option 1-B as Alfred, Option 2-A as Jabberwok, and Option 3-D as Queen and singing from “Down the Hole.”
Dance Call
Everyone will attend the same dance call on Thursday, 11/14 from 4 pm-8 pm. Auditioners will sign in, receive a number (or if they performed on Tuesday, re-use their same number) and then proceed into the Black Box to learn the Choreography. You will have multiple opportunities to learn, rehearse, and perform for our choreographer, Ms. Laurel, and our Director, Mrs. Lindsay. The Dance Call is scheduled from 4 pm – 8 pm, but we may be done earlier. Please be sure to stay in touch with your ride in case we finish ahead of time.
