The audition will consist of singing and acting your audition material as well as a movement section.
If you are applying as a singer and dancer your audition will also include a dance session so please bring suitable footwear.
The audition material consists of scenes and music for each part in the show. You can memorise the songs or read from the music for your vocal audition, but we do encourage you to be try and learn all or some of it.
Claire our Director has asked that you prepare but do not memorise your acting scenes. You will be given the opportunity to perform your scenes with other auditionees performing the other characters in your scene.
If you are cast as a principal character you may be expected to take part as ensemble in some scenes. You will be informed of these once we start rehearsing.
You will be auditioned by a panel, there may be occasions where we need to recall certain people. We will contact you individually if this is the case.
Rehearsals will begin in May 2022. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays with Mondays used for Principals and Ensemble as called. All rehearsals start at 7:30pm at Iford Church Hall.
