Callback Information

Call-backs are from 3-5pm Sunday, February 4th in the School Library.

Audition Sides (excerpts from the musical script to be used in callbacks).  There is a document for the speaking parts, and separate documents for the song segments we'll be having auditioners sing.

Callback Audition Sides & Song Segments


What are callbacks?

Callbacks are essentially a 2^nd audition.  If the directors decide they would like to hear you sing a particular part, read some lines or see how you interact with other actors in a scene, you may get a callback.  Not receiving a callback just means the directors already know how they will cast you.  Receiving a callback does not guarantee that you will be cast in a particular role.
