While some basic singing or acting experience is helpful, we welcome students of all levels. During auditions, we look for enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and basic musical aptitude rather than polished skills.
Yes, there is a simple audition process to help us place students in appropriate roles and understand their current skill level. Auditions involve singing a short prepared piece, basic movement exercises, and a brief acting improv.
Regular classes are twice weekly for 2 hours each. As productions approach, additional rehearsals are scheduled on weekends. Students must be able to commit to all performance dates.
