Calling all students grades 4-12 who are interested in being in the spring musical!
Auditions are January 7, 8, and 11 — see specifics below — after school. Audition packets will be posted here when they are available.
Audition Schedule
January 7
- 3:15-5pm: Jr/Sr High ensemble; all students grades 7-12 who want to participate must attend, even if they are auditioning for a main role; the audition includes learning a short dance to be performed in a small group and singing in small groups
- Starting at 5:30pm: Jr/Sr High main and supporting roles; students must sign up for a 5-minute audition slot (the signup sheet is outside Mrs. Nielsen’s room) and prepare a 1-minute monologue and a song for the audition. students must prepare a song that is not from the show, and must either email their vocal track to Mrs. Nikkel (jnikkel@frcs.org) to use for their audition or bring a device to play the vocal track from. If you are emailing your track, please do so at least one day in advance of your audition.
January 8 from 3:15-6pm: Callbacks
- Students who auditioned for a main or supporting role will receive an email that will include a list of the students who have received a callback. Not all who audition will receive a callback, but all will be in the show!
- Callbacks involve reading or singing with other students to see how different groupings fit together and interact with each other to find the best person for each role; an invitation to callbacks does not guarantee a main or supporting role.

- The Jr/Sr High cast list will be announced through an email!
- All Jr/Sr High students who auditioned will receive the cast list.
