Musical Audition Requirements

Students will perform a memorized one-minute monologue of their choice.  Many monologues are available online and students are encouraged to find one that appeals to them.  It does not need to be a classic monologue.  If you choose an online monologue, please bring 5 copies for the audition panel.  If you prefer, click the buttons below for short compiled lists of classic monologues from literature, theatre, and film.  Part of Clinic will be rehearsal and critique of student monologues by production staff to help prepare them for auditions. 

Students will perform a 16-bar (one minute) song selection of their choice.  Any song which highlights the talents of the student is acceptable, but standard musical theatre selections are preferred.  Please bring an accompaniment CD or have a digital file of the accompaniment music available.  

Students will also perform a group dance routine from the show and participate in group singing with a selection from the show.  These will be taught during Clinic.
