Who can audition and when?
Students in Grades 2 – 12. If you’re worried about conflicts with NCA Athletics, we have partnered with Jesse Erhart, NCA Athletic Director, to make sure all athletes are able to do both if they desire to.

Students will need to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their audition time. On Tuesday, January 7th, students will be called down according to their audition time.
How many auditions/roles can I sign up for?

Audition Process:
Auditions will take place in small groups and will last approximately 20-35 minutes. Actors are to come prepared with their lines, songs, and dance steps memorized as much as possible specific to their audition. Be prepared to speak loudly and clearly. We are looking to cast about 40 actors.
Audition Reminder:
Auditions are meant to be a learning and skill-building opportunity. For some, the audition process can be intimidating, but this experience is meant to be enjoyable, not stressful. Please have fun and step out of your comfort zone.
