Auditioning
for Shows
Who May
Audition?
Auditions for CUTC productions are open to anyone. We
encourage everyone to audition regardless of theatrical experience.
When Are
Auditions?
Typically auditions occur on a Saturday and Sunday approximately two
months before the show. If needed, callbacks occur on the
Monday immediately following auditions. Please view the show
description for specific audition dates as well as a list of primary
characters.
How Are
Auditions Conducted?
Auditions for musicals are typically split into two sections. The first
section is the vocal audition. In this audition the person
auditioning is asked to sing a few bars of a prepared piece.
An accompanist is provided. During this time the individual
may also be asked to read a scene from the script. If there is
dancing for the part you are auditioning for, you will be taught
some basic steps for the show and then use those for the dance
audition.
Where Are
Auditions Conducted?
Auditions are generally held at he Busey Center, 208 W. Main,
Urbana, IL 61801 unless otherwise noted in the information
about auditions.
Preparing
to Audition
Scripts are generally available for reading before auditions.
Individuals are encouraged to read through the show before the
audition.
The most
important aspect of the audition is to have fun.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals generally start the week after the cast list is announced
and are held at the Busey Center, 208 W. Main, Urbana, IL 61801.
