Upcoming Auditions
Auditions for actors and actresses are scheduled for Sunday, November 15 beginning at 5pm at The Electric City Barn, 400 Craig Street, Schenectady. Applicants should come prepared to perform 32 measures of any Broadway song, and complete a cold reading from the script. An accompanist will not be available, please bring an appropriate track. NO ACAPELLA Auditions will be permitted.
SAFETY PROTOCOL FOR AUDITIONS: In order to ensure the safety of our audition panel and performers we will be asking anyone interested in auditioning to email us to sign up for a time slot. Each time slot is 15 minutes - 10 minutes for the audition and 5 minutes to disinfect the area. Prior to entering the theatre performers will be subject to a temperature check and asked to sanitize at the sanitization station. Any performer with a temperature exceeding 100 degrees will be asked to leave for the safety of all involved. Performers will be asked to wear a mask until they are in the designated audition location. At this time they can remove the mask to perform. Once they have finished their audition they are asked to put the mask back on and exit the building. The next performer will not be permitted to enter the building until their allotted time slot.
VIRTUAL OPTION: We want all of our performers to feel safe. If you do not wish to attend an in-person audition, we will also be scheduling virtual auditions. We ask that you ONLY utilize this if you feel uncomfortable coming in person.
If cast, you are required to accept or decline your role within 24 hours of the offer or the role will be recast. A $50 audition fee will be collected at the time of audition, if cast in the production this fee will be deducted from your tuition amount. If a student is not cast in the production the fee will be returned within 5-10 business days. Remaining tuition amount will be due immediately upon acceptance of your role.
ALL ROLES ARE AVAILABLE!
