Beauty & the Beast, Auditions Monday, December 12
When? Audition time slots will be on the evening of Monday, December 12. Callbacks will be on the evening of Tuesday, December 13.
What to prepare? The initial audition will be you performing two selections of Broadway songs (not from the show): 1 ballad and 1 uptempo. 32 measures to be played by our live accompanist. If you are called back, you will then participate in a dance audition, sing songs from the show, as well as do cold readings from the script.

(Additionally, we will likely be performing this show on July 21 and 22 as a charity event. Details on that are forthcoming. If you absolutely would not be able to perform in those, don’t let that stop you from auditioning.)
Rehearsal Schedule? Sunday and Wednesday evenings beginning January 4. Tech week every night March 19-23.
