  • Conflict Requests for Required Dates: We are trying a new process on this production… Please submit conflict requests for Required Dates (Shaded Dates on the Conflict Calendar) on a separate piece of paper with your audition forms.
  • In order to be considered for an exception, your list of conflict requests for required dates must be submitted with your materials prior to auditioning. The Production Team will meet to consider all requests. All requests will need to be approved by the Team.
  • Please note that this flexibility is to support students with required, graded school performances. Note that several shaded dates are listed as Required/No Exceptions. If you are not willing to clear conflicts for those dates, we suggest that you postpone auditioning until your have an open schedule.
  • No Need to include Instruction Sheet in your stapled packet.
  • Make and keep a copy (of all materials) for yourself

3. Recent Photo of Yourself (may be a copy). Staple the photo facing the opposite direction as the forms in your application packet, so that when a director flips the packet over, s/he will see your photo.
