HOW TO REQUEST AN AUDITION
Complete the form on www.imaginecolumbus.org/auditions to request an audition time. We welcome walk-ins promptly at the beginning of each audition date. More details will be sent the week of your audition.
INDIVIDUAL AUDITION
For each production, your first step is to meet the production staff and perform a vocal selection so they can get to know you better. As a community theatre, we are a welcoming and warm group so we want to encourage you to do your best and learn from the experience. The typical production staff members present in the room are the Director, Assistant Director, Musical Director, and sometimes the Choreographer. Feel free to ask questions prior to the audition at auditions@imaginecolumbus.org.
You will have 2 minutes in front of the production staff. Practice saying your name, what role you are auditioning for, and introducing your song and the process will be easy. Please be sure to warm up on your own. You may be asked to read from the script during your individual audition. No monologue is needed.
Please prepare a vocal selection of 32-bars typically a verse and chorus. You should consider choosing a song that highlights your depth and dynamic as a performer. Please select a song in the style of the show - gospel, Motown, or musical theatre. Please do not choose a song from the show for your audition. An accompanist is provided so please bring sheet music in the correct key.
Tip from our Directors: Don’t prepare a choreographed dance, blocking/staging, or over-act your vocal selection. We want to hear you sing and see emotion in your performance but will be distracted by too much movement or staging. Also, please do not dress in character but do look your best!
GROUP DANCE AUDITION
The full group of auditionees will be taught a brief dance combination by the choreographer in the style of the show. You will have multiple times to practice the combination, and then perform it in front of the production staff in small groups. The production staff is looking for ability to move on stage. Depending on number of auditionees, we reserve the right to make cuts prior to the group dance audition or split the group into multiple dance audition groups. Please wear comfortable clothing and proper footwear.
