AUDITION & CASTING INFORMATION
Please come prepared to have fun at auditions. We want this to be an enjoyable experience you! If you are able, please download and fill out the audition form before arriving at auditions.
Auditions will consist of three parts:
1. Singing – Prepare a song of your choice, set in the style of the show (only 16 to 32 bars is necessary). This is preferred. Bring sheet music as an accompanist will be provided. Musical tracks are also welcomed via CD or MP3 (a player will be provided). A Capella is acceptable.
Note: People may be asked to do some vocalizing in order to determine range.
2. Reading – You will be asked to read an actual part from one or more of the shows (called a Side). These will be provided at the audition and you will have time to look over them before you audition.
3. Dancing – Everyone will be asked to learn a dance routine. Wear something that you can move in. This includes proper foot attire.

SYNOPSIS:
Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life on stage! Troy, Gabriella, and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends, and family while balancing their classes and extra curricular activities.
It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock Troy discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical, led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.
