Auditions

Did you know that Cinderella has a long lost twin brother named Bob living in the same kingdom with his own wicked stepfamily? The separated siblings have enlisted the services of the Fairy Godmother, the Godfather (he ain’t no fairy!), and two enchanted gerbils to help wile their way into the exclusive royal festivities of Wychwood-under-Ooze. Bob has his sights set on Prince Percy’s all-kingdom baseball game, while Cinderella eyes the birthday gala for Princess Petunia. When the two strangers disappear at midnight after Cinderella hits a game-winning homerun, the search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat!
This hilarious musical send-up of Cinderella will delight actors and audiences alike!!

What to Expect at Auditions

No preparation is necessary! Youth who are new to theater are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Auditions will include:

• A short vocal audition

• A cold reading from the script with other youth actors

Participants do not need to prepare a song or bring sheet music.

What Is a Cold Reading?

A cold reading means reading from a script without seeing it or practicing beforehand. This helps the production team see how well actors read, project, and express emotion on the spot.

About the Audition Process

Please note that not every actor will read for every character (or for the specific role they may be interested in). The purpose of the cold reading is to assess:

• Volume and clarity

• Expression and emotion

• Ability to take and adjust to direction

Parents or Guardians

Please be prepared to list any rehearsal conflicts between January 19 and March 15 when completing the audition form at auditions.

Age Range

This production is open to youth in the Jackson County area who are in 3rd through 9th grade.
