WE KNOW THAT AUDITIONS ARE NERVE WRACKING EVEN FOR SEASONED ACTORS/SINGERS.
SO HERE IS THE PLAN:
6:30 or upon arrival, sign in at the front desk. You will be asked if you have prepared a monologue or a song. If you have not prepared one, we will still see you. You will be asked to perform a cold reading from the script.
Next, fill out the audition form, which can also be found at https://www.empireartscenter.com/audition and downloaded. Bring a copy with you or fill it out auditions.
Have a resume and headshot? Just fill out the name and contact portion of the audition and list your conflicts.
After signing in, please take a seat in the auditorium in the first three rows.
6:40 -We begin with dance auditions. Adelyn Emter is our choreographer and will demonstrate a simple dance combination. Please wear clothing and shoes you can move in.
6:50 – If you have prepared an audition (1 min. monologue and 36 bars of an up-tempo song), we will see you first in the order you arrived at auditions. Those with an accompanist present will go first.
Following those with prepared auditions, we will have those without out do a cold reading from the script.
Call Backs: The directors will contact you about call backs. If you do not receive a call back within 48 hours, please know we appreciate you auditioning for the show, but we cannot use you for this one.
Cast Announced: We will post the full cast list by August 6th on the Empire’s Facebook page, Empire Theatre Company’s Facebook page, and the Empire’s Website.
