PRE-AUDITION MEETINGS
Pre-Audition Meetings are an opportunity to learn about an upcoming production as well as the basics of how a production runs at Junior Theatre. At this meeting, JT Staff is joined by members of the Production Team to talk about their vision for the show, what they are looking for in prospective cast members, and what they would like to see at auditions. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the production or the audition process.
If the Pre-Audition Meeting is for a musical, you can bring your sheet music with you and have it reviewed to ensure it is in proper order for the accompanist at the audition.
Please make sure to arrive prior to the meeting start time, so you can sign in, pick up paperwork and find a seat before the meeting starts!
AUDITIONS
Auditions are held throughout the year. Audition Notices, containing details about both the audition process and the production, are posted here approximately one month before the audition dates.
