How to prepare for the audition:


SINGING: Come with one short musical selection prepared that is appropriate for your voice type and
highlights your abilities. An accompanist will be provided at the audition. Your sheet music should be
clearly printed and marked (start and stop measures) if you are singing an edited version. All staffs of
musical accompaniment should be included on the printed sheet and not cut off at the bottom. Due to
time constraints, we may stop you after 16-32 bars (1-2 minutes). You may choose to sing a selection
from the show. A selection of songs from the show will be available for you to choose from. Singing a
cappella is strongly discouraged unless you have no other option.
DANCE: Everyone will be asked to dance at the audition as a group at a time either before or after your
5-minute audition time. Be prepared to come early, stay late or return for the scheduled dance audition
time. Please dress to move and wear appropriate footware. You cannot dance barefooted.
CASTING NOTIFICATION:
The CAST LIST will be posted online at CHS Thespian Facebook and each actor will be emailed (providing
you have legibly listed your email). Casting notices will be out no later than June 13. Please confirm by email
to the stage manager that you accept your role. There will be additional auditions for new students the first week
of school in September for new students. You may audition again if you were not cast at this audition.
Other Expectations:
REHEARSALS: Rehearsals will be scheduled Monday-Friday 3:30-6:30. You need to be available every day
after school. Some characters may not be required at every rehearsal until the last 2-3 weeks prior to
opening. Rehearsals the final two weeks will run into the evening. We will make every effort to be done by
10:00 PM those last 2 weeks. Additional rehearsals on Saturday or Sunday may be requested. We may schedule
rehearsals during furlough days and holidays when classes are not in session. You will be required to attend 3
production work parties and help strike the set following the close of the show.
CREW: Tech class will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. We will mostly be working in the shop,
but occasionally we’ll have a guest lecturer or get to work on the sound and light boards. All crew will need to
interview for positions. Crew will be determined no later than the beginning of October.
Summer Dance Intensive-We are currently working with WOU to bring Daryl Thomas an award winning dance teacher
and choreographer to CHS to teach a 3 day summer dance intensive. This workshop is tentatively schedule for some time
between August 24 and September 4th. Cast members will be required to attend all 3 days of this workshop! We
should know the exact dates before school is out and will be contacting you with those.

SHOW DATES:
PREVIEW PERFORMANCE (For CHS Feeder Schools) - Thursday, November 6 during school hours. Students will be
excused from those classes missed during the school day.
PUBLIC PERFORMANCES November 6, 7, 15, 16, at 7 pm and Sundays Nov. 8, 17 at 2 pm
ATTENDANCE & ACADEMICS:
Cast and crew members are expected to maintain good grades while participating in the production. Students who are not
passing a class will be required to provide the director with a weekly progress report from your teachers. Bring your
homework to rehearsals so you can work on it when you are not on stage. Managing your time will be essential to your
success on stage and off.
Attendance during the school day is required to attend rehearsals. If you are too sick to attend school, you should not be at
rehearsals. Your health is important and taking good care of yourself (especially getting adequate sleep) is vital to
maintaining a busy life.
Attendance at your scheduled rehearsal time is essential. Persons missing 3 rehearsals, for any reason, may be removed
from their part or from the show at the director’s discretion. Please make every effort to schedule doctor and dentist
appointments on days you are not on the rehearsal schedule. Please inform the director well in advance of any days you
know you will miss. Any conflict should be written down on your audition form.
If you have a job, are in a sport, planning on taking driver’s Ed, a vacation or any other activity which takes place during
rehearsal time, you, unfortunately, cannot be in the play. Our rehearsal time requires your attendance and these activities
conflict.
Crew attendance is mandatory for the final 2 weeks of rehearsal and each performance. You are as important as a cast
member and no one will know your job as well as you. When you become a crew member, you are expected to be as
committed to the show as a cast member. Please keep this in mind when you turn in your crew application.
PERFORMANCE/REHEARSAL CONDUCT: Failure to comply with production staffs’ requests during rehearsal or
performance may result in removal from the show. All CHS student discipline policies are in effect for students in the
show.
STUDENT PRODUCTION SCHOLARSHIPS: For students needing help with production fees, they can apply for a
production scholarship and financial aide. Come see Mrs. V for the form.
