Auditions and Callbacks -- A Great Night

Wow. What a talented group of students. We had a total of 54 students audition and, throughout the audition process, we couldn't stop commenting about how impressively talented you all are. After auditions, the directors discussed notes and I'll be posting the callback list to the website and outside of the choir room in the morning. While the audition is used to initially show your talent when working and crafting a character, the goal of callbacks is to help the directors see some of those actors play some specific roles in the script, helping to clarify casting.

During callbacks, the directors will ask you to briefly review a scene and then act it out with some other actors. You may be asked to act in several scenes, switching to a different character each time. This helps directors to see your flexibility and ability to take direction. We'll describe more of the process to those of you who are called back tomorrow.

Callbacks will start at 3:00 and may go until about 5:00. Keep tuned for the list in the morning.

Again, great job to all who were involved. Thanks for all of your hard work and for sharing with us your talent and skill.

--Mr. Kennett
