If you are cast please note:

Into the Woods Construction Days are mandatory for all cast and crew– and please note - if you are in a sport, etc, that will interfere with any of the dates, pleasemention that to Ms. Gilligan at your audition.

Construction Days require each student to bring an adult with them, as LCPS safety policy does not allow students to use power tools.

Into the Woods Strike:We stay until it is done.All cast and crew members MUST attend strike.

Rehearsals: Please see Rehearsal Schedule, and return the signed formwithyour audition form.

IMPORTANT NOTE:Please take the rehearsal schedule and your commitment to it seriously.Please do not schedule jobs or appointments during rehearsal AFTER you have accepted a role - attendance (or lack thereof) at rehearsals can affect casting at any time in the production period.

For your audition:

Dress for comfort.

Dress to move.(no flip flops, skirts, etc)

Bring water.

Warm-up physically and vocally before the audition starts.

Monologue:You must have a memorized comedicmonologuethat must run at least 1 minute, but not over 2 minutes.

Please hand a copy of the monologue to Mrs. Gilligan when entering the room.

Vocals:You will need to prepare all of the songs from Into the Woods.Remember, this is not a choral concert, when you are singing you are still acting.Think of it this way - you are singing dialog. You do not need to have the songs memorized... you will be handed the sheet music.

Dance:You will be required to perform a short routine that will be shown to you during the audition.And as with the vocals, remember this is not a dance recital, when you dancing you are still acting! There will be a very short dance number posted on a social media site that you should prepare ahead of time. The link will be posted as soon as I get it from our incredible choreographers.

Make sure you are acting as you perform yourdry read, monologue, and performing your dance and vocals.Make the most of it.Show us your very best.

Audition Day - Whatto expect:

At 4:00 students come todrama hallway (the hallway between the Black Box and the Auditorium) to sign in and pick up your assigned number.

Please tape the number clearly to your shirt, in front. You may then sit in the hallway that is between the Auditorium and the Black Box, away from your friends.You may warm up vocally and physically until quiet is called.

Do not lose the number given to you. You are expected to wear it to every audition day!

Several students may be auditioning together, and you may be called in to perform your dry read, with at least one other student, if not more.You may be asked to read forany role,but this does not reflect how you will be cast, it may just be a necessity.

Please remember to relax and show us the best you can do!

All auditions are closed auditions. Only the students auditioning and the judges are permitted. Please do not let friends wait in the hallway with you.

Put away all cell phones, and no talking in the hall when someone else is auditioning.

Gum - just say no.

If you bring a snack to eat before the audition time, which we suggest, eat only in the hall or outside, and please do not bring in anything with peanuts, or made from peanuts.Also, please remember to throw away all of your trash.

Please remember, part of your audition is how you behave during the audition.

If you are talking, disruptive, etc,it will reflectin your score.

No student is allowed to stay after in the drama hallway past the audition time.
