Please bring a recent photo (need not be a professional headshot) and acting resume (we'll have a brief application for you to fill out upon arrival)
For those over age 16, be prepared with two contrasting 1-minute vocal selections, two 1-min monologues, or one of each. No accompanist will be provided; we prefer to hear you perform a cappella.
For those 16 and under, please prepare either a 1-minute song selection or a short monologue.
We prefer musical theater songs that allow you to demonstrate character and emotion in your delivery, and monologues that represent your best self.
What happens after auditions:
After we've completed our first round of auditions, the producers and directors meet to discuss who to call back for another look. There may be more than one round of call backs.
Because of our limited resources, we typically only call people that we want to see again for call backs. It may take us up to a month after auditions before we make our call backs, so please be patient. But if you haven't heard from us for a month, we have most likely "gone a different direction."
Please know that if we don't call you back, it isn't necessarily because you didn't do a good job on your audition. It might be that there just wasn't a part for you in this episode, but there may be in another episode. For example, we had a young woman audition who didn't get called back. However, when it came time to cast for our fifth episode, "The First Christmas," we went back through our audition notes and tapes and called her back. We ended up casting her, Jessica Huffaker, as Mary.
Although we keep audition tapes, applications and headshots indefinitely, if you haven't auditioned for us for awhile (in several months or a year), it may be worthwhile to come back for an open audition to refresh our memories. This applies even if you have been cast in a previous episode.
What you can expect if you are cast:
Although this is a relatively low-budget production, our actors are paid for their work. The fee is negotiated.
It is likely that you will need to be available for cast calls as early as 5 or 6 a.m. and work for up to 12 hours. We shoot typically on Mondays through Saturdays. You may be needed for some of that time or many of those days, depending on the role. We don't work on Sundays. We typically begin and end our production schedule over the course of a week.
You may need to be available for a pre-recording session (prior to production), some rehearsal time (generally no more than one or two sessions, except for dancers, who typically need several rehearsals) and a post-recording session. Pre-recording, rehearsals and post-recording sessions are part of your fee.
We will feed you during your time on the set.
