Audition Information & Materials

Auditions will be held on August 16th & 17th in 10 minutes increments at Jackson Church. Students will be asked to read and sing a song for a character of your choosing, and perform a short dance. Please read/sing for the character that you would most like to play, even if you would like to play a part that is not listed. Everyone who auditions will receive a part, whether it is a main, supporting, or ensemble role! Video auditions are available for those who cannot make the audition dates, information on submitting videos is listed at the bottom of the page.

We will have an optional audition prep night on August 7, 2025 from 6:00pm – 7:00pm for Frozen Jr. and 7:00pm – 8:00pm for Anastasia. This is a great way to come meet the directors, learn about what we are looking for in auditions, and review the materials.

Both audition prep and auditions will be held at:
Jackson Church
68 Bennetts Mills Rd.
Jackson, NJ 08527



The audition process:

DURING THE AUDITION

Once you arrive, please sign in and wait until we are ready for your audition. Your individual closed audition will be in front of our directors. You will perform your prepared song, read your chosen script/slide, and perform the short dance. Remember, the panel is looking for stage presence, vocal tone, emotion, and range. They want you to succeed – so relax, smile, and show your best effort!

SONG REQUIREMENTS:
● Choose a song from the song list provided for your show.
● Accompaniment tracks are provided.
● We recommend using the performance tracks for your audition, but the guide tracks are available if desired.

SCRIPT/SLIDE REQUIREMENTS:
● Prepare a script/slide from the provided character list for your show.
● You do not have to memorize the dialogue, but it is strongly encouraged.

DANCE REQUIREMENTS:
● We recommend memorizing the dance as much as possible but the video will be available for you to follow if you need it.

AFTER THE AUDITION
You will be contacted Monday night if you are requested to attend a callback. A callback does not guarantee a lead role in the production. Additionally, not all cast members will receive a callback. It simply means the panel needs to see you again to finalize their decisions. The cast list will be announced during the week after auditions via email.


Choosing a script/slide and song

If you know you want to audition for a particular role, choose the script/slide and song listed for that character at the sites above (listed as script and score on the site). Be familiar with other characters since you may be asked to do an additional read. Audition materials may not be available for the specific part that you are auditioning for; choose one that is similar or fits you the best instead.


Video Auditions

We highly recommend coming and doing your audition in person, but we do allow video auditions for those who are not able to make the audition times. Select “Video Audition” under audition time when registering. Please email a video of yourself performing your song, script/slide, and dance to [email protected] and let us know when parts you would like to audition for. Please submit video auditions by August 16th!
