WELCOME! To Auditions for PIRATES THE MUSICAL!

We are delighted that you’re interested in auditioning for the production of Pirates the Musical!Performances for this production are scheduled for July 13, 14, 15, and 16. Hopefully we can make the audition process as easy as possible by providing the following online information and forms.

Auditions will be held on Saturday, April 8 from 10a.m. to 4p.m. Children must be accompanied at the auditions by a parent or responsible adult. However, once children are signed in, parents will be expected to remain in the waiting area until their child has completed the audition process.

Because this is a children’s production, our director, Tim Searby will handle auditions a little differently. All auditioners will be expected to sing a song they have prepared for this occasion and to do a short “dance” audition. There will be no scene reading for this audition.

All children should come prepared to sing a song. This can be something as simple as “Happy Birthday.” An accompanist will be available to play for your audition if you bring along sheet music, or you can bring your own accompanist if you like.

All children will also participate in a group “dance” audition. Our choreographer will help teach groups of children the steps to a short selection of music from the production. No prior dance experience is necessary. You will basically just be learning how to do a few steps and then putting them together to go with the music. Once they are ready, groups of 6 to 10 will perform the newly-learned dance routine for the director.

It is expected that those chosen to be in the cast will be available for rehearsals starting near the first of June. A specific rehearsal calendar will be made available as soon as possible. Please complete the conflict calendar below—listing all possible church, summer school, sports, or other special programs that might conflict with rehearsal times. Attendance at all rehearsals is expected, and those cast in the show must choose to make attendance a priority.

We look forward to working to make Pirates the Musical a fun experience and a great success.
