No experience is necessary, and everyone gets a role!
A group session will take place on the audition day where everyone will do acting activities as a group. This allows us to see who stands out, and who works well together. During this group audition, those who want to try for lead roles will be taken to another room to do solo auditions, using one of the audition packs below. Auditionees do not have to do a solo audition, as everyone who attends on audition day gets a role in the show. You do however, have to do a solo audition if you want to be considered for a lead role.
