• Prospective students will begin the day with a dance class to warm up the mind and body as well as demonstrate proficiency and potential. (Please wear comfortable stretch clothing.) An acting class will follow in which basic ensemble work and improvisation will be explored. After lunch, individual auditions will commence.

• Please prepare two contrasting songs of 16 to 32 measures each. Material should be chosen that best demonstrates vocal and acting ability. Treat the song as a monologue with a strong sense of character, wants and desires. Who are you singing to, why and what do you hope to achieve. Your music should be clearly marked for the accompanist. We prefer you sing with a piano and not with CD or cassette tape. In addition, prepare one 60 second monologue from any American play. Please limit the total time of songs and monologue to 3 minutes.

• Please bring picture and resume to the audition.

• During the acting and dance classes, there will be a meeting for parents to answer any questions about the program and a tour of the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center.
