Rehearsals

Tips for Auditioning
- Wear clothing that is comfortable to move in.
- Be on your best behavior. The directors are always watching.
- Know your stuff. It is always impressive to be memorized.
- Go all out. Don’t hold back. The directors want to see you take risks.
- Be able to follow direction well. The directors want to see how well you respond to critiques.
- Don’t limit yourself. Audition for all roles. This will increase your chances of being cast.
- Read the script!
- Be honest about your conflicts with the rehearsal schedule. If you want it bad enough, I’ll work around it.
- LOOK AT THE REHEARSAL CALENDAR and talk with your parents/guardians about possible conflicts.
