Having trouble sending your audition videos?
  • Disclaimer - I am not technically savvy, so you might want to Google a solution that works for you.
  • One problem is that your video could be too big for email.  I would suggest cutting all videos down to 45 seconds or less.
  • You could try clicking on your video and then uploading it to Google Drive (this takes a bit of time).  Once it is uploaded you can got to your Drive account and share the video to [email protected] from there.
  • If you don't have Google Drive on your phone you might try connecting your phone to a computer and then moving the file that way.
  • You can also try emailing: [email protected]

​Company members are expected to:
  • Be kind and respectful to everyone involved.
  • Respect the rehearsal and performance space.
  • Take special note of the cell phone policy—No phones at rehearsal.
  • Take the show SERIOUSLY!
  • Attend all rehearsals that their part requires, though not all actors will be called at every rehearsal.
  • Meet all deadlines including lines, songs, choreography, costumes and paperwork.

HAIRSPRAY
The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.
It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do!

Casting Information
· All those auditioning will get a fair, unbiased chance as per our non-discrimination policy.
· If we have enough students to move ahead with production, the cast list will be posted by noon on Monday, April 8th.
· Auditions and casting are a very exciting and stressful time for those auditioning, as well as the production staff.  Please remember that casting is not a personal refection on you as as an individual.  There are a variety of factors that go into casting, including—vocal range, dancing & acting ability; chemistry with other actors and scene partners; schedule availability; attitude; and to some degree—reliability and behavior issues from past productions.  Inevitably, there will be some hurt feelings, however I expect everyone to keep negative comments to themselves.  ​​We will build each other up as a cast instead of tearing one another down.  A positive, team-centered attitude is essential!
