    High School Auditions:

    The audition process for specialty numbers will be a little different this year. 2018 marks the return of the well-loved piece “Favorite Son” from Will Rogers Follies. This number will be the Women’s Specialty this year, and there will be three clinics to learn the choreography prior to the audition. If you are interested in auditioning for this number, you must attend at least one clinic prior to the audition.

    If you are interested in participating in the Men’s Specialty number, there will be a dedicated audition for that number on Wednesday, November 15th at 5:30pm.

    Only those students who are interested in auditioning for a solo/duet/or small group number (less than 10 people) in the show will need to audition individually on one of the dates indicated below. There are two audition dates--you only need to attend ONE audition, not both.

    Also new this year; any student interested in being considered for Student Director will need to apply and attend an interview in order to be considered for the role. Similarly, any student interested in participating in the Student Production Team will need to submit an application and attend an interview. There are two interview dates--you only need to schedule your interview on ONE of the dates, not both.
