What Should I Do Before I Decide To Audition?

STEP 1 - Check The Time Commitment

Are you capable of fully participating?  Check the Time Commitment.  Check the Rehearsal Calendar posted below.  Bring up any concerns or conflicts with Mr. Von Glahn before you put the time in.

STEP 2 - Research The Show

Get familiar with Curtains - School Edition.  Read the Show Synopsis to understand the story of Curtains - School Edition.  Read the Role Descriptions to understand the characters, and what playing those roles will require of you.  Check the voice ranges of individual character on the Character Range Sheet.  See what songs that each character sings, in full or in part, on the Songs Sung by Character Page .  Listen to the Reference Recordings to get familiar with the songs of Curtains (See your Google Classroom for the password).  Watch video from other performances of Curtains on YouTube or other platforms.

STEP 3 - Choose A Role

Once you know the time commitment, have researched the show, and have decided that you would like to audition - choose a role that meets your availability, your acting ability, your vocal ability, and your dancing ability.  For some roles, you'll need to act out part of the script in character in your audition.  For every role, you will need to perform a song from a Broadway Musical, past or present.
