Children’s Chorus Audition Material

ACTING: As this show has almost no spoken dialog, you will not be required to do any reading at the audition, however you should use your performance of your song to also demonstrate your acting. During the audition you may be given some additional direction so that we can see your acting abilities. We are looking for character choices, ability to convey emotion and tell a story while singing, as well as your ability to take direction.

Those required for callbacks will be notified following the final date of auditions via email. Callbacks will include a dance call and additional vocal auditions. Not all roles will require a callback. Callback material will be posted by April 1st.

NEED TO CANCEL AUDITION SIGN UP?

If you need to cancel please email stagemanager@gifca.org. Do not “No call, No show” to your audition! That takes away another person’s opportunity and is disrespectful to all concerned.
