HOW DOES CASTING AND AUDITIONS WORK:
The first day of the program all Directors work with the students on different aspects of performance. Once the Musical Director teaches the students a song from the production, students will each audition for the staff on the 3rd day of the workshop. The directors cast within appropriate age range and strive to place every student in a role that best suits their current skills while allowing them to grow and develop their craft on stage. You will find our audition process is very supportive and safe.
​
WHEN WILL I KNOW WHAT ROLE I RECEIVED?
We will post a cast list on the FRIDAY of the first week of the workshop. If I don't like my part, can I quit? Yes, but you will not be allowed to audition for the next show and your full tuition fee will NOT be refunded. We strongly discourage performers from quitting if they don't get the role they wanted, as we believe that every role is important and the experience of being part of the production is more important than being the lead. Also, often, a role one didn't expect can surprise them and be more fun than they ever dreamed.
​
REFUNDS:
A $195 fee will be assessed for any cancellations 2 weeks prior to the first day of the workshop. NO REFUNDS will be made for cancellations after the 2 week deadline.
