Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "The Wizard of Oz" Show

Looking for kids ages 8-17 years old for "The Wizard of Oz" Production. Please refer to the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This family classic sticks close to the 1939 movie of the same name and is sure to be a nostalgic hit for performers and audiences of all ages! Additional info: Workshop-style auditions: Children (ages 8-12) may choose to attend the audition workshop on April 29 from 4 pm to 5 pm instead of a formal audition. In this workshop, students will learn about common audition requirements, preparation, and etiquette, as well as tips for landing the part! This is a lower-pressure option for those new to auditioning. Participation in this workshop will count as your audition, and workshop participants will be given equal consideration to those auditioning in the more traditional format. Those attending this workshop do not need to prepare anything BUT MUST REGISTER THROUGH THE AUDITION REGISTRATION FORM. In-Person Audition: Acting: Prepare a 60-second monologue of your choice. Actors will take turns performing individually for the directors. Music: Prepare approximately one minute of singing OR choose to use the provided sheet music & backing track. Sheet music and the backing track can be found here. Singers will take turns performing individually for the directors. An accompanist will be available, as will a Bluetooth speaker for those wishing to provide their own playback or use the backing track. Dance: Dancers will join our choreographer to learn a short dance combo. Please wear clothing and shoes you can comfortably move around in. The in-person dance combo will differ from the video submission combo.
