AUDITION INFO
Auditions are open to new and existing members ages 11-19 (who are currently in school years 6 to 13).
All those wanting to audition MUST attend an audition session on either the 17th or 19th June 2026 (we do also have a video audition option). At this audition students will be taught a short dance routine, some scene work and then be learn a section of a song. For those wishing to audition for a principal role, you will be required to sing a section of a song solo, from one of the options, which can be found in the audition information pack below.
Following auditions, we may then invite some auditionees to call-backs on the 24th June. If you are auditioning on the 24th June from 5-7pm, please be prepared to stay for call-backs until 9pm.
If you are not invited to call-backs this doesn't mean you haven't been cast, it just means we saw everything we needed to see within the original audition.
