WHAT TO EXPECT
Local Auditions:
Singing:
For an audition in Durango please be prepared to sing a song that best exemplifies the qualities of your voice. Bring the piano accompaniment to the song you want to sing, in the key you wish to sing. All sheet music must be original. If you bring copies of your music for ease of page turns, you must also have the original music accompanying.
Monologue:
Depending on the year we may or may not require you to prepare a one-minute monologue. We will have you cold-read a side from one of the season´s shows.
Dancing:
Our director will teach you some VERY basic steps to see how you can move for the purposes of the vaudeville, musical revues, and musical productions in our season.
Professional Auditions:
Both the UPTA and Strawhats have very specific guidelines on criteria and expectations to participate in their auditions. Feel free to use the supplied links to view their websites for comprehensive information.
