2014 JOHNNY APPLESEED CHILDRENS THEATRE AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD

SATURDAY, MAY 10

from 9-12 & 1-5. We cast all ages, 7-adult. Auditions will be done by cold readings. If you would like to prepare a monologue or poem, no longer than 2 minutes, we will gladly see it. If you would like to be considered for the musicals, please prepare 16-32 bars of a song that best shows your vocal ability. You need to bring sheet music in the appropriate key; an accompanist will be provided. Please do not bring music on a cd. If you need to sing a Capella, you may also be asked to sing some scales or a familiar tune with our accompanist.

Please provide a headshot or snapshot at the audition. If you have a resume, please bring it, but it is not required. We will need to know your other commitments prior to casting; be sure to bring your calendar to the auditions.
