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 lead 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."
  • Tuesday, November 1 & Wednesday, November 2 will be about a half hour for intros, warmups and learning the song and about five minutes per student for individual auditions and working on dance routines.
  • Thursday, November 3 will be callbacks for potential principal characters.
  • As a reference for those who'd like to practice at home before auditions, we will be singing Welcome to Wonderland from 2:44 - 3:03. The song with lyrics can be found below by selecting the "Wonderland High Sing Along" button.
  • 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.
  • Thursday, November 3 - Actors who received a call back slip will read, dance and sing for specific characters.
  • The cast list will be posted on the TIM website on Friday, November 4th by 9pm. The rehearsal schedule will also be posted at the same time so you can determine when your child will need to be at rehearsals from Nov-Feb.
  • Please note: The ENTIRE cast will be called for the first week of rehearsals: Monday, November 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th
