Auditions
The Barn Jr. Winter Production -
Into The Woods
Auditions for students in grades 6-12 for the Barn Jr. Winter Series production of INTO THE WOODS will be held:
Friday, October 29, 6pm-9pm, and Saturday, October 30, 1pm-4pm
at St. Pius Church, 55th and Woodson, Mission, KS, 66202, 3rd floor.
Auditioners should plan on having EITHER
*Approximately 32 bars of one musical theatre selection (not from ITW)
OR
*Approximately 16 bars of two contrasting musical theatre pieces (again, not from ITW)
There is no preference for one over the other. Auditioners should bring sheet music that is marked and ready for the accompanist. Recordings will not be allowed. A capella auditions are highly discouraged, but allowed. Auditions may also consist of cold readings from the script.
Auditioners should have a resume. A photograph of some sort is recommended. This may be a headshot, or can simply be a school photo.
Callbacks MAY be held throughout the next week/weekend if the production team feels they need to see more from an individual to fully assess their abilities.
Since INTO THE WOODS does not have a flexible chorus, some roles may be double cast in order to allow more students to participate.
Rehearsals will begin Monday, 8 November. We generally rehearse M-Th from 600-900, and Sundays from 100-400. Not all actors are called for every rehearsal. We break for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. During the winter school break, we hold “intensives,” where we rehearse from 1000-400, and where much of the show comes together. The directors do recognize that travel conflicts, choir concerts, and final exams can all create conflicts this time of year, and take this into consideration when constructing the rehearsal schedule. NO CONFLICTS will be allowed during tech week, however, beginning Monday, 3 January. The show opens Friday 7 January, and closes Sunday 16 January.
Questions may be e-mailed to the director at barnjr@thebarnplayers.org. Students unable to make one of the open audition dates may request a private audition, but no guarantee is made that this can be accommodated.
