Please read below for important information about our current production:

Auditions
Auditions will be held on Saturday 18th September (with call-backs on Sunday 19th September) at NOW Arts Centre in Smithfield. Anyone aged 14-25 is welcome to audition (must be in Year 9 or above in 2022). All performers will participate in a Singing, Acting and Dance audition. Don't worry if you are not strong in all of these areas - these auditions will be held in groups. There is an optional solo Dance audition. Performers then have the option to stay for a Principal audition where they will sing/act on their own. Some performers from the Principal auditions will be asked to return on Sunday 19th September for a call-back.
Rehearsals
Our cast must be available for the following rehearsals. 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.
