There is a $55 participation fee up to $100 per family.
Couple of quick questions: Where will the actual rehearsals be?
Can you come either the 8th or 9th?
Where will we perform?
Do we need to sign up for auditions?
Do we need to prepare a monalouge, or just the song?
If we want to audition for one of the brides, will kissing be mandatory, or would stage kissing be acceptable?
You only need to come one day and there will be cold reads at the audition. We do not do kissing in our youth theater. Rehearsals will be at Constitution Park in West Jordan on 7000 South and 3200 West. Auditions are on a first come first seen basis.Performance space is TBA as we are waiting to see if we got our first choice venue.
Okay. What is the oldest age that you’ll accept? Do you have a breakdown of the characters ages that you are looking for?
Also, what does elite cast mean? Is it possible for anyone to get main roles?
Elite means their is an expectation that the teens and young adults have some experience and skills already. All parts are open, we never pre cast a role. No cut off age.
