Auditions and the show

One production a year. Auditions are in January, rehearsals run on Saturdays from February, and the show is one weekend in May.

Classes need no audition. The audition is for a part in the production, and it is built to feel like a class: a warm-up with the group, a short song, a page of script and a combination.

The year

  • Auditions in early January

  • Cast list the same month

  • Saturday afternoon rehearsals from February

  • Production weekend in May

A school auditorium with an empty stage and folding chairs set out in rows

What an audition is like

  1. 01

    Step 1: Sign in

    A teacher greets each student and puts them in a group with others of their age.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Warm up together

    The group warms up with the director, then learns a few lines of a song.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Sing and read

    Each student sings a short song, alone or in a pair, and reads a page of script.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Dance a combination

    The group learns a combination and dances it in groups of four.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Hear from us

    Families hear from us by message the same month, with a part and a rehearsal plan.

What rehearsals ask of a family

  • Saturday afternoons

    Cast members rehearse on Saturdays from February, on top of their weekly classes.

  • Costumes and tickets

    Costumes are ordered in the winter and billed before the show. Guests need tickets.

    How tuition works
  • Production weekend

    Three performances over a Friday evening and a Saturday, in a rented hall nearby. We do not compete, so there is no travel.

Classes are open to everyone in the age group. Auditions are only for the production.
