Auditions will be held on Sunday 16th September and young people aged 7-21 are invited to book for Acting, Singing and/or Dance auditions.
Please read the following information carefully before completing the audition application form.
Auditions
Auditions will be held on Sunday 16th September at our studios in Gawler. Once you have applied for an audition, you will be given an audition slot (one each for Acting, Singing and Dancing - you can choose to audition for any or all three). The auditions will involve a mix of prepared pieces and improvisation. More details will be given in your audition confirmation.
Children under 18 must have parental permission to audition. Young people aged 18 and over may sign the application themselves.
You will receive an email within 7 days informing you of the results of the auditions.
Rehearsals
You must be available for the following rehearsals. Please do not audition if you cannot attend these dates. Performers will be asked to leave the cast (without refund) if they miss rehearsals. Allowance will be made for illness if a medical certificate is produced (provided the performer is able to catch-up on anything missed at rehearsal) and commitments that you already have will be taken into consideration but must be noted on your application.
Saturdays & Sundays: November/December (these rehearsals will be scheduled to suit the performers availability where possible) - NOW Studios in Gawler
Saturday 15th to Wednesday 19th December: All performers must be available for all of these dates for main rehearsals at NOW Studios in Gawler
