Looking for kids ages 6-18 years old for "Junie B.’s Essential Survival Guide to School JR.". Please see the details below. About the project: A self-appointed expert on all things first grade, Junie B. is determined to write the ultimate guide – Junie B.’s Essential Survival Guide to School JR. As she deals with writer’s block and constantly getting into trouble, Junie B. quickly realizes that she still has a lot to learn. Additional info: Audition Workshop: December 6 @ 10:30. Auditioners are asked to arrive and to sign in BEFORE the posted audition start time. Auditions will consist of a monologue, song, and dance portion. You will learn the dance at auditions, but you should have your monologue and song learned and memorized before auditions. Monologues and songs for auditions are from the show and can be found below. Please choose only one monologue and one song from the options to perform! There will be an optional (but encouraged!) audition workshop held at the rehearsal hall on December 6 @ 10:30 AM, where you can learn the audition dance ahead of time, practice your songs with an accompanist, and work on your monologues in groups. This workshop is designed to alleviate some of the stress that goes with auditioning and also to ensure that anyone who wishes will have the resources to feel prepared for their audition. Auditions start at 4:30, with everyone learning the dance together and performing it for the director. Arrive early to allow time to fill out/turn in audition forms beforehand! Rehearsal will take place 3 – 4 days a week at the Erie Playhouse Rehearsal Hall. Rehearsals will typically take place from 4:30 – 6:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and 2 – 4 on Saturdays.

Attendance is required at all rehearsals and performances after this date. Please be sure to have any known conflicts with the anticipated rehearsal period for this show ready to provide on your audition form when you arrive!
