How auditions work

Students sign up for a time slot on the digital sign up sheet. Students should prepare a one minute song that highlights their vocal and acting abilities. We highly recommend using a backing/karaoke track, which you can usually find online. No accompanist will be provided.

​

If you’re unsure about what song to sing and/or would like to sing from the show, please reach out to Randall Dodge, Artistic Director, at randall@fortetheatrecompany.org.

​

Please bring a device to play the backing/karaoke track and please make sure the track is downloaded to the device (i.e. don’t play it off YouTube). If you don’t have a device you wish to use for auditions, please email us the track ahead of time at randall@fortetheatrecompany.org.

​

When you arrive, sign in. We will take a digital photo of each student for casting purposes only; the photos will be deleted after casting is complete. Students will be brought into the audition room individually. Parents are kindly asked to wait in the lobby. You’ll will be greeted by members of the production staff (the director and producer, and sometimes the music director and/or choreographer).

 

Then you’ll sing your song (1 minute only, please).

​

And that’s it! You did it! Congrats!

How callbacks & casting work

The cast list will be posted to the show website within one week of the callback, often sooner. Shortly thereafter you will receive a welcome email detailing the first rehearsal and parent meeting. There is a production fee for students cast in the production due to be paid before the first rehearsal. If you need support with the production fee, please contact angie@fortetheatrecompany.org.
