AUDITION DETAILS

Our Director brings to us a community audition process, which we think will work great for our actors. Here's a rundown, so your actor(s) will know what to expect on audition day.

  • It is not necessary for actors to prepare a song in advance.
  • Actors who are not interested in named roles will not be required to solo at auditions and will be cast in one of the ensemble groups. They are, however, required to be present while others perform solo, and to behave well as a respectful and supportive "audience."
  • Monday, October 16 and Tuesday, October 17th will be a group workshop working on vocal selections, sides and dance routines.
  • Wednesday, October 18 - Actors will perform their preferred vocal selection solo with musical accompaniment for the casting team and cast, perform sides at the request of the casting team, and perform the dance routine in groups. 
  • Thursday, October 19 - will be callbacks for potential principal characters. Actors who receive a call back slip will read, dance and sing for specific characters.
  • As a reference for those who'd like to practice at home before auditions, we will be posting the sides and song(s) to be sung at auditions here (and the parent page) once we make them available.
  • If an actor wants to be considered for a lead role with solo vocals, they must sing this excerpt on their own in front of the other cast members, which will serve as a supportive "audience ." They will be accompanied by piano.  
  • Those auditioning for leads will be asked to introduce themselves: their name and age (in their best "theater voice") and then sing the audition song.   
  • Parents are not allowed in the auditions.
  • The cast list will be posted on the TIM website on Friday, October 20th by 9:00 pm. The rehearsal schedule will also be posted by Sunday, October 22 at the same time so you can determine when your child will need to be at rehearsals from October -February .
  • Please note: The ENTIRE cast will be called for the first week of rehearsals: October 23-26
