We understand the time commitment required for OnStage and would like to:
OnStage Waitlist
To be waitlisted for OnStage simply fill out an online registration form and select your desired program from the regular drop down menus. Although a form of payment is required, you will only be charged if you receive a call from Children's Theatre and accept an open space.
Audition Process
Students must be registered and have an appointment scheduled in order to audition. Bring your completed audition form with you to the audition. Auditions will be held in the rehearsal rooms which are located on the second floor of ImaginOn. Each student should arrive and check in at least 15 minutes prior to their audition. Students must bring their completed audition form. Students should prepare a memorized monologue from a play which does not exceed 2 minutes in length. Students interested in participating in the musical must also prepare 16 bars of a song (about 1 minute long) to be sung a cappella. At the end of their audition, each student will visit the costume shop to be measured for costumes. Level II, III, and IV students are required to bring a headshot and resume with them to auditions. Level III and IV students are encouraged to select a different monologue than the one used at the SOTT placement audition. During the audition parents can wait in the board room. Parents are not permitted to watch the auditions.
