STARS Auditions – Schoolhouse Rock Live!
Schoolhouse Rock Live! Auditions
Auditions for our spring production of Schoolhouse Rock Live! are NOW OPEN. This production is a full length musical written for adult actors, and is being modified by our VST team to elevate and showcase our STARS performers like never before! We are looking for dynamic young performers aged 7 – 18 to create an ensemble cast of 20-25 students to join our one adult actor leading this production. Rehearsals will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, and Sundays from 1:30pm to 4:30pm starting Sunday, February 25th. Parent meeting will be Wednesday, February 21st, and mandatory tech and dress rehearsals will be April 6th – 10th. We are also planning to host school performances in addition to public performances. Final dates/times of school performances will be announced at the time of casting, but Thursdays, April 11th & 18th and Fridays, April 12th and 19th are potential school performance dates.
