Visit the Audition Information page for additional information about auditions, as well as the schedule for the day of auditions.
PRE-SEMINAR PRACTICES
Five practice sessions have been planned for all students (both Elementary and Jr/Sr High) to review lines and songs for their respective shows. These practices will supplement students' at-home memorization of lines and also help them to be comfortable with the script and building prior to the seminar week. Pre-seminar practices are essential to ensure the success of the seminar. It is crucial that all lines MUST be memorized prior to seminar week. This allows us to focus on refining performances, blocking, and other important aspects of the production during the seminar itself. Please make sure to dedicate time to practicing in advance so we can make the most of our time together!
Pre-seminar practices are scheduled for:
Monday, December 16 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Wednesday, December 18 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Monday, January 27 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Monday, February 3 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Monday, February 10 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
