We’ve got a great artistic team ready and we’re excited to put together fantastic casts for these productions.

Because we are doing both a musical and an operetta, please prepare three pieces. However, please note that due to time constraints, not all three pieces may be heard.

  • 1 opera/classical
  • 1 musical theatre
  • 1 own choice

Auditions will be taking place on:

  • Sunday, September 21 (1pm to 5pm)
  • Monday, September 22 (7pm to 10pm)
  • Wednesday, September 24 (7pm to 10pm)

IMPORTANT: Please be available for callbacks on Sunday, September 28 (1pm to 5pm).

NOTE: For non-singing actors, there are three non-singing roles in The Fantasticks. So if acting is your strong suit, make sure to audition for us!

How do I sign up for an audition?

Come visit us at clubs days in the SUB from September 17-19 to hear more about our productions and to sign up for audition spots!
