Auditions for BHS Toreador Theatre’s Fall Production of ﻿"Cinderella" will be Tuesday, September 7th from 6:30-8:30 p.m.  & Thursday, September 9th from 3:30-5:30 p.m. And 6:30-8:30 p.m.

In the high school auditorium Auditions are easy! Just 4 easy steps! =Step 1 Download this audition form, print it out, and fill it out. Make sure to be VERY specific about the times & dates you are available for practice. Scheduling practices sessions for music, dance, and acting can be complicated so we need to know exactly when you will be available. This is a contract so please make sure you fill it out to the best of your knowledge. Find your planner and have at it! It needs to be in the director's hands by Thursday evening. =

= Step 2: Choose 1 of those sessions for your audition session. Wear comfortable dancing clothes! Your first step will be to learn a short dance. We will be looking for individuals who can follow directions! Prior dance experience is NOT necessary. =

Ensemble tryouts will be done at this point!
= Step 3: Are you interested in trying out for a lead? There's just two more steps to this audition. First, prepare a 2-3 minute song to sing as a solo or duet. Choose a song that will compliment your singing range. We will be looking for individuals who can project their voices (not belt) into the auditorium and have great expression with their song. Put some fun into your singing. This song can be as simple as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Happy Birthday" - just make sure to put some personality into it. Accompaniment will NOT be provided so either plan to bring your own CD/ipod player or sing a cappella. One other note - I'd really prefer not to hear any songs from "Cinderella" during these sessions. I've already been humming "Cinderella" songs for the last few months so give me a few new ones to think about, ok? Help me hum a few new songs - for a few days at least. =

= Step 4: A cold read from the script. You'll be given a short excerpt from the script and asked to read it several times. The first time will be your interpretation. The 2nd and/or 3rd will be after I give you some directions. First I want to see your interpretation and then how well you take direction. Both are important parts of acting. =  Four easy steps!! If you have any questions, please come talk to me in Room 235. See you in September!
