Spring 2026 Auditions

Saturday, December 6 

Romeo & Juliet: 10 am – 2 pm

Anastasia: 9:30 am – 3 pm

How to Audition

Visit our Sign-Up Genius page to sign up for an audition slot for either of our Spring 2026 shows, Romeo and Juliet and Anastasia. You may sign up for one or both shows (please be sure your audition times do not overlap). If you are auditioning for Anastasia, you must sign up for both a vocal and acting audition and a dance audition. You must also learn the dance combination prior to your audition using the information at the bottom of the page.

Fill out the Audition Form (via Google Forms). You only need to do this once (if you are auditioning for both shows), and you do not need to print a copy to bring with you to the auditions.

Read the audition requirements for each show, listed in the next section.

Audition Requirements

Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is casting 13 adult roles for people who are 18+ years of age, of any gender or race. Please note that all or most of the cast will be incorporated into dance choreography for one of the scenes in the show. You can view specific casting information and a character breakdown here.

Please familiarize yourself with the acting sides listed below. The director will assign you a part to read during the audition. 

Anastasia

*You must sign up for both a Vocal/Acting Audition and a Dance Audition to be considered for casting. 

Anastasia is casting 26 people who are 18+ years of age, of any race or gender. Anastasia is also casting two children between the ages of 8-12. For more information regarding character descriptions and vocal ranges, please view this  character breakdown.

Music Audition

Please prepare one of the selections below from Anastasia for your vocal audition, though it may be helpful to familiarize yourself with several of them. In your audition, you may be asked to perform another selection from the options below so that the directors may have a better understanding of your abilities. We ask that you be flexible and open-minded if you are asked to do something different in your audition.

Acting Audition

Please familiarize yourself with a few of the sides below for your acting audition. Memorization is not required.

View the Anastasia Audition Sides for more information. 

Dance Audition

You are expected to have learned the dance combination prior to your audition. Please watch the following Dance Audition Tutorial for audition instructions, a walk-through, and the full combination. The audition choreography is set to Land of Yesterday and the combination begins at 45 seconds in. You will not be taught the combination in the audition room, though there may be a brief review of the choreography.

Please wear comfortable clothing that will not inhibit your movement (no jeans, please). Jewelry such as long earrings or necklaces should not be worn. Dance shoes such as jazz, ballet, or character shoes are preferred, but you may wear tennis shoes if needed.
