• During your audition you will be asked to cold-read a side, to be provided when you check-in. No preparation or memorization necessary.

Tips for the audition:
• Select an audition space with your back to a wall so that others will not pass behind you.

Please note:
• For the audition wear simple, businesslike clothing with hair back and away from the face.
• All rehearsals and class sessions will take place remotely in Zoom.
